It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man from among the people of Paradise will be brought, and Allah Almighty will say to him: O son of Adam! How did you find your abode? He will say: O my Lord! The best abode. Allah Almighty will say: Ask for more and wish for more. He will say: I do not ask for anything and I do not wish for anything, except that You return me to the world so that I may be martyred ten times in Your path. The reason for his saying this will be the virtue of martyrdom. Then a man from among the people of Hell will be brought, and Allah Almighty will ask him: O son of Adam! How did you find your abode? He will say: O my Lord! The worst place. Allah Almighty will say: If you had gold equal to the earth, would you give it to be saved from this place? He will say: Yes, my Lord! Allah Almighty will say: You are lying, I had asked you for something less and easier than this, but you did not do even that, then he will be returned to Hell.
