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]
