It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no soul on the face of the earth that dies, having good destined for it with Allah, that would like to come back to you in the world, even if the whole world were given to it, except the martyr; for, because of the excellence and superiority of martyrdom that he witnesses, he longs to go back to the world and be killed once again in the path of Allah."
No one narrated this hadith from Zayd bin Waqid (may Allah have mercy on him) except al-Haytham bin Humayd (may Allah have mercy on him).
