[Machine] I said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I feared that I may have perished. He said, "Why?" I said, Allah forbids a person to be praised for what he did not do, and I find myself loving to be praised. And Allah forbids boasting, and I find myself loving to boast. And Allah forbids raising our voices above your voice, and I am a man with a loud voice. Then the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Don't you want to live a praiseworthy life and be martyred and enter Paradise?" I said, Yes, O Messenger of Allah. So he lived a praiseworthy life and was martyred on the day of Musaylimah.
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَدْ هَلَكْتُ قَالَ «بِمَ؟» قُلْتُ نَهَى اللهُ الْمَرْءَ أَنْ يُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْحَمْدَ وَنَهَى الله عَنِ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَأَجِدُنِي أُحِبُّ الْخُيَلَاءَ وَنَهَى اللهُ أَنْ نَرْفَعَ أَصْوَاتَنَا فَوْقَ صَوْتِكَ وَأَنَا امْرُؤٌ جَهِيرُ الصَّوْتِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَعِيشَ حَمِيدًا وتُقْتَلَ شَهِيدًا وَتَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَعَاشَ حَمِيدًا وَقُتِلَ شَهِيدًا يَوْمَ مُسَيْلِمَةَ
