bayhaqi:18473Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-Jabbār > Yūnus b. Bukayr > Ibn Isḥāq

[Machine] "The sea of Rajz, oh how I long for Paradise, with its pleasant and cool beverages. The Romans, oh how they advance with their punishment. As for Ibn Ishaq, he narrated to me that Abdullah Ibn Rawaha said, when he took the flag that day, 'Oh my soul, I swear that you will either descend it obediently or be compelled. If the people bring forth and tighten the reins, why do I sense that you dislike Paradise? You have been content for so long. Are you nothing more than a drop in the ocean?' Ibn Ishaq said, 'He also said, oh my soul, don't allow yourself to be killed, for you will die. This is the bath of death, and I have prayed and desired. I have been granted guidance if you do as they did, and if you delay, you will be miserable.' He meant Ja'far and Zaid. Then he took his sword and advanced, fighting until he was killed."
