Since meeting death is the most difficult thing a soul can face and the unseen things are not like those which have already taken place, one cannot be certain that he will be as he should when things happen. Consequently, it is disliked that one wishes for such a situation since there is the possibility that a person may contradict what he promised himself. Then he is instructed to be patient when and if the situation actually occurs.
