When Sulayman ibn AbdulMalik visited Makkah, he asked if there was anyone present who has met the companions of RasulAllah (saw).
“Abu Hazim,” they replied.
“Why is it that we dislike death? Why is it we don't want to die?” Sulayman asked.
Abu Hazim replied, “Because you have built and established this world and you have destroyed your Aakhirah, so you hate to go from what you have established to what you have destroyed.”
