بَابُ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِChapter on Martyrs in the Path of Allah
Hadith 985
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَأُقْتَلُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا فَأُقْتَلُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، فَأُقْتَلُ "، فَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ ثَلَاثًا : أَشْهَدُ بِاللَّهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul! I wished that I fight in the way of Allah, then be killed, then be brought to life, then be killed, then be brought to life, then be killed." Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: I bear witness to this three times that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said exactly this.
