حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي أُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأُقْتَلَ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلَ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلَ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلَ، وَلَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَا تَخَلَّفْتُ خَلْفَ سَرِيَّةٍ تَخْرُجُ - أَوْ تَغْزُو - فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَلَكِنْ لَا أَجِدُ سَعَةً فَأَحْمِلَهُمْ، وَلَا يَجِدُونَ سَعَةً فَيَتَّبِعُونِي، وَلَا تَطِيبُ أَنْفُسُهُمْ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا بَعْدِي " أَوْ " يَقْعُدُوا بَعْدِي " (٢)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, I wish that I fight in the way of Allah and attain martyrdom, then be granted life again, then participate in jihad and be martyred, then participate in jihad and be martyred. And if it were not a hardship upon the Muslims, I would never stay behind from any army that sets out in the way of Allah, but I do not have enough means to provide mounts for all, and they do not have enough means to follow me. I fear that they may not be content in their hearts and may refrain from participating in jihad after me.
