حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا غَيْرُ الشَّهِيدِ فَإِنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى أُقْتَلَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مِمَّا يَرَى مِمَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ ‏"

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "None of the people of Paradise would wish to return to the world except for the martyr who indeed would love to return to the world saying that he would love to be killed ten times in Allah's cause because of what he has seen of the honor that He has given him."

[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( غَيْرُ الشَّهِيدِ ) قَالَ النَّوَوِيُّ : اُخْتُلِفَ فِي سَبَبِ تَسْمِيَتِهِ شَهِيدًا فَقَالَ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ لِأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ فَإِنَّ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ شَهِدَتْ وَحَضَرَتْ دَارَ السَّلَامِ , وَأَرْوَاحُ غَيْرِهِمْ إِنَّمَا تَشْهَدُهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ. وَقَالَ اِبْنُ الْأَنْبَارِيِّ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ يَشْهَدُونَ لَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ. وَقِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ رُوحِهِ مَا أَعَدَّهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ الثَّوَابِ وَالْكَرَامَةِ. وَقِيلَ لِأَنَّ مَلَائِكَةَ الرَّحْمَةِ يَشْهَدُونَهُ فَيَأْخُذُونَ رُوحَهُ , وَقِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ شُهِدَ لَهُ بِالْإِيمَانِ وَخَاتِمَةِ الْخَيْرِ بِظَاهِرِ حَالِهِ , وَقِيلَ لِأَنَّ…
