Abu Huraira said, Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand my life is, I would love to fight in Allah’s Cause and then get martyred and then resurrected (come to life) and then get martyred and then resurrected (come to life) and then get martyred, and then resurrected (come to life) and then get martyred and then resurrected (come to life).” Abu Huraira used to repeat those words three times and I testify to it with Allah’s Oath.
9:338 Narrated by Abu Huraira
Allah’s Apostle said, “Not to wish to be the like except of two men. A man whom Allah has given the (knowledge of the) Qur’an and he recites it during the hours of night and day and the one who wishes says: If I were given the same as this (man) has been given, I would do what he does, and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the just and right way, in which case the one who wishes says, ‘If I were given the same as he has been given, I would do what he does.'” (See Hadith No. 543 and 544, Vol 6)
9:339 Narrated Anasu: If I had not heard the Prophet saying, “You should not long for death,” I would have longed (for it).
9:341 Narrated Abü Huraira (or Sa’d bin ‘Ubaid): Allah’s Messenger said, “None of you should long for death, for if he is a good-doer, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil-doer, he may stop the evil deeds and repent.”
