أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ذَكْوَانُ أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَمْ أَتَخَلَّفْ عَنْ سَرِيَّةٍ وَلَكِنْ لَا يَجِدُونَ حَمُولَةً وَلَا أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُهُمْ وَيَشُقُّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا عَنِّي وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ثُمَّ أُحْيِيتُ ثُمَّ قُتِلْتُ ثُمَّ أُحْيِيتُ ثَلَاثًا»

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "Were it not that I would impose hardship on my community, I would not stay behind from any expedition, but they do not find mounts, and I do not find what to carry them on, and it would be hard for me that they stay behind from me. I would love to be killed in the path of Allah, then brought to life, then killed, then brought to life, three times."
