[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.'

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.'"

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man from the people of Paradise will be brought on the Day of Judgment, and Allah will ask him, 'O son of Adam, how did you find your dwelling?' He will reply, 'O Lord, it is the best dwelling.' Allah will say to him, 'Ask and wish for your desire.' He will say, 'I do not ask and wish for anything except to be returned to the world so that I can be killed again due to what I witnessed from the virtue of martyrdom.' Then a man from the people of Hellfire will be brought and Allah will ask him, 'O son of Adam, how did you find your dwelling?' He will reply, 'O Lord, it is the worst dwelling.' Allah will say to him, 'Do you want to ransom it with the whole world filled with gold?' He will say, 'Yes, O Lord.' Allah will say, 'You are a liar! I asked you for less than that, why didn't you do it?' So he will be returned to the Fire."

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."
