Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, it is my wish that I be martyred in the way of Allah, then brought back to life, then martyred again, then brought back to life, then martyred again." Then Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said these words three times: "I make Allah the witness."
