Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ 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
Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "No soul that has good with Allah would be pleased to return to the world, except the martyr. He would be pleased to return to the world to be killed once more, because of the merit of martyrdom that he sees."
