أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَزِيرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُفَيْرٍ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُسَافِرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ رِجَالاً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لاَ تَطِيبُ أَنْفُسُهُمْ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا عَنِّي وَلاَ أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَا تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ سَرِيَّةٍ تَغْزُو فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ " .
Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn al-Wazir ibn Sulayman informed us, from Ibn Ufair, from al-Layth, from Ibn Musafir, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman and Said ibn al-Musayyab, that Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: By the One in whose hand is my soul, were it not that some men among the believers would be distressed at staying behind me, and that I have no mounts on which to carry them, I would never stay behind any expedition that fights in the cause of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. By the One in whose hand is my soul, I would love to be killed in the cause of Allah, then brought to life, then killed, then brought to life, then killed, then brought to life, then killed.
