Sincerely seeking martyrdom

muslim:1908Shaybān b. Farrūkh > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit > Anas b. Mālik

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever sincerely seeks martyrdom will be granted it, even if it does not befall him."

مسلم:١٩٠٨حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ طَلَبَ الشَّهَادَةَ صَادِقًا أُعْطِيَهَا، وَلَوْ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ».
