Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) had been cauterized on seven spots on his stomach. He said: If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had not forbidden us from praying for death, I would surely have prayed for it.

Then Sayyiduna Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: O Jibreel! Which places are the worst? He said: By myself, I do not know, but I will ask my Lord. Then he left and remained away as long as Allah willed, then he returned and said: O Muhammad! You had asked me which places are the worst, and I had replied that I do not know. Then I asked my Lord which places are the worst, and Allah Almighty said: The marketplaces.

Upon this, Sayyida Umm Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Do not curse, because Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, those who curse will not be witnesses nor intercessors on the Day of Resurrection.
