Hadith text: I do not covet someone to have an easy death, after see…

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: «ما أَغْبِطُ أحدًا بهَوْنٍ موتٍ بَعْدَ الذي رَأَيتُ مِنْ شدَّة مَوْت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ».

‘Ā'ishah reported: I do not covet someone to have an easy death, after seeing the difficult death of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

Explanation of the hadith: I do not covet someone to have an easy death, after see…

‘Ā'ishah says that she would not be happy for anyone, even herself, to have an easy death, as she had seen the difficult death of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). The point here is that a difficult death is not evidence of a bad ending and an easy death is not a sign of a noble end, otherwise, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would be the most deserving of that. So a hard death should not be disliked nor an easy death be rejoiced.
