بَابُ : تَمَنِّي الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
Chapter: Wishing To Be Killed In The Cause Of Allah
Hadith 3153
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ذَكْوَانُ أَبُو صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ سَرِيَّةٍ ، وَلَكِنْ لَا يَجِدُونَ حَمُولَةً ، وَلَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ ، وَيَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا عَنِّي ، وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، ثُمَّ أُحْيِيتُ ، ثُمَّ قُتِلْتُ ، ثُمَّ أُحْيِيتُ ، ثُمَّ قُتِلْتُ ثَلَاثًا " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` "Were it not that it would be too difficult for my Ummah, I would not have stayed behind from any expedition. But they could not find mounts, and I could not find any mounts for them, and it would be too hard for them to stay behind when I went out. And I wish that I could be killed in the cause of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed, then brought back to life, then killed," three times.
