"إِنَّ أرْوَاحَ الشُّهَدَاء فِى جوف طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ، لها قَنَادِيلُ مُعلَّقَةٌ بِالعَرْشِ، تَسْرحُ فِى الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ، ثُمَّ تَأوى إِلى تِلْكَ الْقنادِيلِ، فاطَّلَعَ إِلَيْهمْ رَبُّهُمْ اطِّلَاعةً فقال: هلْ تَشْتَهُونَ شيئًا؟ قَالُوا: أَى شْئٍ نشْتهِى وَنَحْنُ نَسْرَحُ فِى الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ شِئْنَا؟ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بهِمْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَلمَّا رَأَوا أَنَّهُمْ لَنْ يُتْركُوا مِنْ أَنْ يُسْأَلُوا، قَالُوا: ياربِّ نُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرُدَّ أَرْوَاحَنَا فِى أَجْسَادِنَا حَتَّى نَرْجعَ إِلى الدُّنْيَا فَنُقْتَلَ فِى سَبيلِكَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى، فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَنْ لَيْسَ لهُمْ حَاجَةٌ تُرِكُوا ".
Translation

"Indeed, the spirits of the martyrs are in the bodies of green birds, which have lanterns suspended from the Throne. They roam in Paradise wherever they wish, then they return to those lanterns. Their Lord looked upon them with a look and said: 'Do you desire anything?' They said: 'What should we desire, while we roam in Paradise wherever we wish?' He did this with them three times. When they saw that they would not be left alone until they were asked, they said: 'O Lord, we wish that You return our spirits to our bodies so that we may return to the world and be killed in Your cause once more.' When He saw that they had no need, they were left alone."
