"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A man from among the people of Paradise will be brought and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will say: "O son of Adam, how do you find your place (in Paradise)?" He would say: "O Lord, it is the best place." He will say: "Ask and wish (for whatever you want)." He would say: "I ask You to send me back to the world so that I may be killed in Your cause ten time" - because of what be sees of the virtue of martyrdom.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3160)   

أحمد:١٢٣٤٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُؤْتَى بِالرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ مَنْزِلَكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ خَيْرَ مَنْزِلٍ فَيَقُولُ سَلْ وَتَمَنَّهْ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَسْأَلُ وَأَتَمَنَّى إِلَّا أَنْ تَرُدَّنِي إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَأُقْتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ عَشْرَمَرَّاتٍ لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ فَضْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man from the people of Jannah will be brought forward and will be asked, 'O son of Adam, how did you find your abode?' He will reply, 'O Lord, it is the best abode.' He will be asked, 'Ask and wish for anything.' He will reply, 'I do not ask or wish for anything except that You send me back to the world so that I may be killed in Your cause ten times, because of what I see from the blessings of martyrdom.' Then, a man from the people of Hellfire will be brought forward and will be asked, 'O son of Adam, how did you find your abode?' He will reply, 'O Lord, it is the worst abode.' He will be asked, 'Did you ever experience even a single moment of pleasure in the world?' He will reply, 'O Lord, no.' And then Allah will say, 'Indeed, you lied. You have been asked about something even simpler than that, and you did not answer truthfully.' So he will be sent back to the Fire."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man from the people of Paradise will be brought forward and Allah will say to him, 'O son of Adam, how did you find your dwelling place?' The man will say, 'O Lord, it is the best dwelling place.' Allah will say, 'Ask and wish for more.' The man will say, 'I ask You to return me to the world so that I may be killed in Your cause ten times for what I have seen of the virtue of martyrdom.' He said, 'Then a man from the people of Hellfire will be brought forward and Allah will say to him, 'O son of Adam, how did you find your dwelling place?' The man will say, 'O Lord, it is the worst dwelling place.' Allah will say, 'Did you not seek deliverance from it by any means possible, even if it was by giving away the entire world?' The man will say, 'Yes.' Allah will say, 'You lied. I asked you for something less significant than that, and you did not do it.'
