Hadith #187
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَس
ٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تَمُوتُ لَهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ يَسُرُّهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا الشَّهِيدُ فَإِنَّهُ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَيُقْتَلَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ فَضْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ

English Translation
'Abd al-Samad narrated from Hammad, from Thabit, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No soul that has good with Allah would be pleased to return to the world, even if it had the whole earth and everything in it — except the martyr. He wishes to return to the world so that he could be killed ten times, because of the honor he sees.'
