Hadith 991
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسًا، وَقَبْرٌ يُحْفَرُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَاطَّلَعَ رَجُلٌ فِي الْقَبْرِ، فَقَالَ : بِئْسَ مَضْجَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ "، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ : إِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ الْقَتْلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا مِثْلَ لِلْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ بُقْعَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَبْرِي بِهَا مِنْهَا " ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ . يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ
It is narrated from Yahya bin Saeed that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting while a grave was being dug in Madinah. A man looked at the grave and said: "What a bad place this is for a Muslim." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "You have said a bad thing." The man said: "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! I meant that being killed in the way of Allah is better than this." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, there is nothing equal to being killed in the way of Allah, but there is no place on the whole earth where I would prefer my grave to be than Madinah," three times. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said this.
