Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنْ 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
When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) would break his fast, he would break it with fresh dates before praying. If there were no fresh dates, he would eat dried dates. If there were no dried dates, he would take sips of water.
