1718 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; al-Walid ibn Muslim Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Dimashqi narrated to us in Mecca, from al-Awzāʿī, from ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz, who said:
“I do not wish for the throes of death to be lightened for me; they are the last means by which a Muslim’s sins are expiated.”
١٧١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، بِمَكَّةَ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: «مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُهَوَّنَ عَلَيَّ سَكَرَاتُ الْمَوْتِ إِنَّهُ آخِرُ مَا يُكَفَّرُ بِهِ عَنِ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ»
