Chapter 37 · The Book of Governmentفَضْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تَمُوتُ، لَهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ خَيْرٌ، يَسُرُّهَا أَنَّهَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا، وَلَا أَنَّ لَهَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، إِلَّا الشَّهِيدُ، فَإِنَّهُ يَتَمَنَّى أَنْ يَرْجِعَ، فَيُقْتَلَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ فَضْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ».
