Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Umayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Of all the Muslims among the people whose souls their Lord takes, none of them would like to return to you, even if they were given the world and everything in it, except the martyr." Sayyiduna Ibn Abi Umayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That I be killed in the path of Allah is dearer to me than that all the people of the towns and of the desert should be mine."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
