Hadith 33:316

Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-Sari ibn Yahya, from al-Hasan, who said: Abdullah said: "If I were to stand between Paradise and the Fire, and it were said to me: 'We will inform you of which of the two you will be, [and that would be] more beloved to you, or [that you would] be ashes,' I would have chosen to be ashes."

حدثنا أبو معاوية عن السري بن يحيى عن الحسن قال قال عبد الله لو وقفت بين الجنة والنار فقيل لي نخبرك من أيهما تكون أحب إليك أو تكون رمادا لاخترت أن أكون رمادا
