THE HONOR OF MARTYRS

1339

“No one who enters Paradise will wish to return to this world even if he were to be given all that the world contains, except a martyr who yearns that he could return to the world and be martyred ten times over on account of the honor he is given by virtue of his martyrdom.”

We are also informed:

“On account of that which he experiences of the excellence of martyrdom.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
