Hadith 1661
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا غَيْرُ الشَّهِيدِ ، فَإِنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا ، يَقُولُ : حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، مِمَّا يَرَى مِمَّا أَعْطَاهُ مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No one who is in Paradise wishes to return to the world except the martyr. He wishes to return to the world and says: (I wish) to be killed ten times in the way of Allah, because of the honor he sees which Allah has bestowed upon him." © Imam Tirmidhi says:

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In one narration, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Jabir (radi Allahu anhu):
“Do you know what Allah, the Exalted, said to your noble father?” He replied that Allah said:
‘O Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu)! Express any wish so that it may be fulfilled.’
Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) submitted:
‘O Allah! Bring me back to life so that I may be martyred again in Your path.’
Allah, the Exalted, said that it has already been decreed and decided that whoever has departed from the world will not be sent back under any circumstances.”
(Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi, Tafsir al-Qur’an, Hadith 3010)
➋
From the aforementioned hadith, the greatness of martyrdom (shahadah) becomes evident. In reality, among virtuous deeds, there is only one jihad in which a person offers his life as a sacrifice; therefore, the status of martyrdom has been made very lofty.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
➊ The martyr (shahid) attained this status because his soul is present in Paradise, whereas the souls of ordinary Muslims will reach there on the Day of Resurrection.
➋ Allah and His angels bear witness to their being among the people of Paradise, and as soon as the soul departs, it witnesses its own honor and reward.
➌ At the time of death, angels are present with them and take their soul.
➍ Their outward state is a testimony to their faith (iman) and a good ending (husn al-khatimah).
