Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and he spoke to us in a way that softened our hearts. Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) wept profusely and said, "I wish I were dead." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Sa'd, do you wish for death while I am here?" He repeated this three times, then said, "O Sa'd, if you were created for Paradise, then your long life and good deeds are better for you"
