The wishing of death (hadith)

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "None of you should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he has to wish for death, he should say: 'O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is better for me.'" [Bukhari, book no. 70, hadith no. 575]

That which will happen to the believers in the grave...

A Believer in the Grave

The Prophet of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "When a deceased person is laid in his grave, he hears the sound of the footsteps of people as they go away. If he is a believer, the prayer will stand by his head, the fasting will be to his right, alms to his left, and all other good deeds of charity, kindness to relations, and good behavior will be by his feet." [Ahmad]

Then two fearsome, dread-inspiring angels, called Munkar and Nakeer, visit the soul to ask it about its religion, God, and prophet. The believing soul sits upright in its grave as Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) grants it the strength to answer the angels with full faith and certainty.

Munkar and Nakeer: “What is your religion?”
Believing soul: “Islam.”
Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Lord?”
Believing soul: “Allah.”
Munkar and Nakeer: “Who is your Prophet?” (or “What do you say about this man?”)
Believing soul: “Muhammad.”
Munkar and Nakeer: “How did you come to know these things?”
Believing soul: “I read the Book of Allah (i.e. the Quran) and I believed it.”

Then, when the soul passes the test, a voice from the heavens will call out: “My slave has spoken the truth, supply him with furnishings from Paradise, clothe him from Paradise, and open a gate for him to Paradise.” The believer’s grave is made roomy and spacious and filled with light. He is shown what would have been his abode in Hell - had he been a wicked sinner - before a portal is opened for him every morning and evening showing him his actual home in Paradise. Excited and full of joyful anticipation, the believer will keep asking: ‘When will the Hour (of Resurrection) come?! When will the Hour come?!’ until he is told to calm down. [Tirmidhi]

You Will Die The Way You Lived - Sheikh Ahmad Ali

Do not be deceived by this dunya (this life), the last laugh will be with none other than the Lord of the Arsh and Kursi (Throne and Footstool). The last laugh will be with none other than the Lord of the Arsh and Kursi, because Rasulullah (peace be upon him) said 'You do as you please but remember, you will die the way you lived! You will die just like you lived, and you will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement just like you died."

Just as it is hoped that Allah (SWT)  will honor the individual who gives preference to the akhirah (afterlife) over the dunya (this world), it is feared one who gives preference to the dunya over the akhirah and rejects the teachings of Allah and His prophet (Muhammad, SAW), and neglects his obligation to Allah and His prophet (Muhammad SAW), it is feared that Allah will disgrace him at the time of death. Allah will disgrace him at the time of death!
