Hadith #40053
وَعَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ ﷺ كَانَ جَالِسًا وَقَبْرٌ يُحْفَرُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَاطَّلَعَ رَجُلٌ فِى الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ: بِئْسَ مَضْجَعِ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَقَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ ﷺ: «بِئس مَا قُلْتَ» قَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنِّىْ لَمْ أُرِدْ هٰذَا إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ الْقَتْلَ فِىْ سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ فَقَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ ﷺ: «لَا مِثْلَ الْقَتْلِ فِىْ سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ مَا عَلٰى الْأَرْضِ بُقْعَةٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَبْرِىْ بِهَا مِنْهَا» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ. رَوَاهُ مَالِكٌ مُرْسَلًا
On the authority of Yahya bin Saeed, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was sitting while a grave was being dug in Medina, and a man looked into the grave and said: “A miserable place to sleep.” The believer. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “What an evil thing you said.” The man said, “I did not want this. Rather, I wanted to kill for the sake of God.” He said Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him: “There is nothing like killing in the cause of God. There is no spot on earth more beloved to me than to have my grave there,” three times. Narrated by Malik mursal
