Chapter on what is reported regarding cowardice and bravery
Sunan Sa'id bin Mansur 3712 — on what is reported regarding cowardice
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: «وَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ أَمُوتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَتَقَدَّمُ كَتِيبَةً فَأُسْتَقْبَلَ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ»
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah! Dying on my bed is more beloved to me than being killed while fighting in the vanguard of the army."
