Hadith 997
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ لَا أَتَخَلَّفَ عَنْ سَرِيَّةٍ، تَخْرُجُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا يَجِدُونَ مَا يَتَحَمَّلُونَ عَلَيْهِ، فَيَخْرُجُونَ وَيَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا بَعْدِي، فَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، فَأُقْتَلُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، فَأُقْتَلُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، فَأُقْتَلُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If it were not hard upon my Ummah, I would never stay behind from any army that sets out in the way of Allah. But I do not have enough mounts to carry all the people upon them, nor do they have enough mounts so that all of them could set out mounted. If I go alone, it would be hard for them that I leave them behind. I wish that I fight in the way of Allah and be killed, then be brought back to life, then be killed, then be brought back to life, then be killed."
