Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4692a
✧ Hamza with Nun
"إِنَّ الله تَعَالى أَعَدَّ للمجاهدين في سبيله مائةَ درجة، بين كل درجتين كما بين السماء والأرضِ فلو كان عندي ما أَتقَوَّى به وَأُقوِّى المسلمين، أوْ بأَيديهم ما يتقوَّوْن به، ما انطلقَت سَرِيَّةٌ إِلا كنْت صَاحِبَها, ولكن ليس ذلكَ بيدى وَلا بِأَيدِيهم، ولو خرجْت ما بَقى أحد فِيه خَيرٌ إِلا انْطلَقَ مَعى، وذلك يَشقُّ عَلى وَعَلَيهِمْ، فلوَدِدْت أَنِّى أَغزُو فأُقتَلَ، ثم أُحْيَا ثم أَغزُوَ فأُقتل (ثم أُحيا فأُقتل).

"Indeed, God Almighty has prepared for those who strive in His cause a hundred degrees, and between every two degrees is like what is between the heavens and the earth. Had I possessed what I could strengthen myself with and strengthen the Muslims, or had they possessed in their hands what they could strengthen themselves with, no expedition would have set out except that I would have been its companion. But that is not in my hand nor in theirs. And if I were to go out, no one with any good in him would remain behind except that he would set out with me, and that is hard on me and on them. I would love to fight and be killed, then be brought back to life, then fight and be killed, (then be brought back to life and be killed).
