1643. Anas narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no person who dies having good (prepared for him) with Allāh, who wishes to return to the world, and to have the world and all that it contains, except for the martyr because of what he knows about the virtue of martyrdom. For, indeed he loves to return to the world so that he may be killed another time." (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Sahih.
[Ibn Abī 'Umar said: "Sufyān bin 'Uyainah said: "Amr bin Dīnār was older than Az-Zuhri.""][3]

Commentary
A place in Paradise to a person shall, in his sight, be a favor worth more than having the world and all that it contains. That is why no one in Paradise would ever like to go back to the world. The martyr, however, immensely pleased as he would be with the favors granted to him by Allāh in Paradise, would wish to be given another chance to go back to the world and once again lay down his life in the cause of Allāh, in order to secure even greater status in Paradise.
