That he had been branded (cauterized) at seven places in his body. He said, Our companions who died (during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ) left (this world) without having their rewards reduced through enjoying the pleasures of this life, but we have got (so much) wealth that we find no way to spend it except on the construction of buildings. Had the Prophet (ﷺ) not forbidden us to wish for death, I would have wished for it." [7:576-O.B]
