حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ ع
َنْ حُمَيْدٍ وَشُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تَمُوتُ لَهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَيْرٌ يَسُرُّهَا أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا وَأَنَّ لَهَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا إِلَّا الشَّهِيدَ يَتَمَنَّى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَيُقْتَلَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ فَضْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ

English Translation
Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated to us, from Humayd and Shu'bah, from Qatadah, from Anas (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No soul that has good with Allah (عز وجل) would wish to return to the world, even if it had the whole world and everything in it, except the martyr. He wishes to return to the world and be killed ten times because of what he sees of the honor of martyrdom.'
