It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My heart desires that I should never remain behind any expedition sent out in the way of Allah, but I do not have enough means to provide mounts for all of them. I wish that I could fight in the way of Allah and attain martyrdom, then be granted life again, participate in jihad and be martyred, then participate in jihad and be martyred again.
