Arabic Text
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ الْحَجَّاجِ وَهُوَ الْبَصْرِيُّ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا تَدْعُوا بِالْمَوْتِ وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْهُ فَمَنْ كَانَ دَاعِيًا لَا بُدَّ فَلْيَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتْ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتْ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي
English Translation
Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Hafsh bin 'Abdullah] dia berkata; [bapakku] telah menceritakan kepadaku, dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku [Ibrahim bin Thahman] dari [Al Hajjaj Al Bashri] dari [Yunus] dari [Tsabit] dari [Anas] dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Janganlah kalian berdo'a untuk mati dan janganlah mengharapkannya. Barangsiapa yang harus berdo'a (untuk mati), hendaklah ia berdo'a, 'Ya Allah, hidupkanlah aku selama hidupku lebih baik bagiku, dan wafatkanlah aku selama kematian lebih baik bagiku'."
About Sunan an-Nasa'i
Born
215 AH / 829 CE — Nasa, Turkmenistan
Died
303 AH / 915 CE
Imam an-Nasa'i applied the strictest conditions of all Sunan compilers. He first wrote a larger collection (as-Sunan al-Kubra) then condensed it into al-Mujtaba. He was particularly rigorous in identifying weaknesses in narrator chains, resulting in a collection of very high reliability.
An-Nasa'i's conditions for accepting narrators were stricter than those of Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi, making al-Mujtaba one of the most critically refined of the Sunan collections.
