3155. It was narrated from Ibn Abî 'Amîrah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There is no Muslim soul among the people that is taken by its Lord and wishes it could come back to you, even if it had this world and everything in it, except the martyr." Ibn Abî 'Amîrah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If I were to be killed in the cause of Allâh, that would be dearer to me than if all the people of the deserts and the cities were to be mine.'"[1] (Sahîh)

Arabic text

3153 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ بَحِيرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي عَمِيرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا مِنَ النَّاسِ مِنْ نَفْسٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ يَقْبِضُهَا رَبُّهَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ، وَأَنَّ لَهَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا غَيْرُ الشَّهِيدِ» قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَمِيرَةَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَلَأَنْ أُقْتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي أَهْلُ الْوَبَرِ وَالْمَدَرِ»

Commentary

The Muslim will be happy and joyful before Allâh, Most High, whereas a disbelieving hypocrite would implore that he returned so that he could make amends for his sins. But his request will not be granted.
