و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَحُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تَمُوتُ لَهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ يَسُرُّهَا أَنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَی الدُّنْيَا وَلَا أَنَّ لَهَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا إِلَّا الشَّهِيدُ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَمَنَّی أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فَيُقْتَلَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لِمَا يَرَی مِنْ فَضْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4867
It has been narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Nobody who dies and has something good for him with Allah will (ever like to) return to this world even though he were offered the whole world and all that is in its (as an inducement), except the martyr who desires to return and be killed in the world for the (great) merit of martyrdom that he has seen.
