عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ نَفْسٍ تَمُوتُ وَلَهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى خَيْرٌ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا الْمَقْتُولُ وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ إِلَّا الْقَتِيلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَيُقْتَلَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى
Sayyiduna Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no soul on earth that dies and has good with Allah, and yet would like to return to the world, except for the martyr in the way of Allah. Indeed, he wishes to return and be martyred again.
