أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لأُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ أُحْيَا ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا، ثُمَّ أُقْتَلُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيَا . فَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُهُنَّ ثَلاَثًا أَشْهَدُ بِاللَّهِ.
Abu Huraira said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, I would love to fight inAllah's Cause and then get martyred and then resurrected (come to life) and then get martyred andthen resurrected (come to life) and then get martyred, and then resurrected (come to life) and then getmartyred and then resurrected (come to life)." Abu Huraira used to repeat those words three times andI testify to it with Allah's Oath.
