Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that he got up and brought a mat which had turned black due to long use. He sprinkled water on it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on it, and he (Anas) and an orphan boy stood behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the elderly lady stood behind them.

He will submit, "My only request and wish is that You send me back to the world and I may be martyred in Your path twenty times," because he will have seen the virtue of martyrdom.
