The Messenger of Allah said, "A man from the people of Paradise will be brought forward, and Allah will ask him, 'Son of Adam, how did you find your dwelling?'He will reply, 'My Lord, the finest of dwellings.'Allah will say, 'Ask and wish for whatever you desire.'He will say, 'I ask You to return me to the world so that I may be killed in Your cause ten times,' because of the great merit of martyrdom that he sees."
قال رسول الله: يؤتى بالرجل من أهل الجنة فيقول الله عز وجل: يا ابن آدم كيف وجدت منزلك؟ فيقول: أي رب خير منزل فيقول: سل وتمن، فيقول: أسألك أن تردني إلى الدنيا فأقتل في سبيلك عشر مرات لما يرى من فضل الشهادة.
