Home Hadith Hadith 34781
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Abu Salih
as-Samman from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Had I not been concerned for my
community, I would have liked never to stay behind a raiding party
going out in the way of Allah. However, I do not find the means to
carry them to it, nor do they find anything on which to ride out and
it is grievous for them that they should stay behind me. I would like
to fight in the way of Allah and be killed, then brought to life so I
could be killed and then brought to life so I could be killed."
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 42

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha that Anas ibn Malik had said that when the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to Quba, he visited Umm
Haram bint Milhan and she fed him. Umm Haram was the wife of Ubada ibn
as-Samit. One day the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had called on her and she had fed him, and sat down
to delouse his hair. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had dozed and woke up smiling. Umm Haram said, "What
is making you smile, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Some of my
community were presented to me, raiding in the way of Allah. They were
riding in the middle of the sea, kings on thrones, or like kings on
thrones." (Ishaq wasn't sure). She said, "O Messenger of Allah! Ask
Allah to put me among them!" So he had made a dua for her, and put his
head down and slept. Then he had woken up smiling, and she said to
him, "Messenger of Allah, why are you smiling?" He said, "Some of my
community were presented to me, raiding in the way of Allah. They were
kings on thrones or like kings on thrones," as he had said in the
first one. She said, "O Messenger of Allah! Ask Allah to put me among
them!" He said, "You are among the first."

Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "On the
Day of Uhud, The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'Who will bring me news of Sad ibn al-Rabi al-Ansari?' a
man said, 'Me, Messenger of Allah!' So the man went around among the
slain, and Sad ibn al-Rabi said to him, 'What are you doing?' The man
said to him, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, sent me to bring him news of you.' He said, 'Go to him, and
give him my greetings, and tell him that I have been stabbed twelve
times, and am mortally wounded. Tell your people that they will have
no excuse with Allah if the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, is slain while one of them is still alive.' "
