"عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ: مَا جَاءَنِى أَجَلِى فِى مَكَانٍ مَا عَدَا الجِهَادَ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّه أحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَأتِيَنِى وَأَنَا بَيْنَ شُعْبَتَى رَحْلِى، أَطْلُبُ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ، وَتَلَا: {وآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِى الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ} () ".

"From 'Umar, who said: 'Of all places where my death might come, none is dearer to me than dying in the cause of Allah, rather than it coming to me while I am between the two sides of my saddle, seeking Allah's bounty.' And he recited: {And others travelling through the land seeking of Allah's bounty} ()"
