حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لَوْلاَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي مَا تَخَلَّفْتُ عَنْ سَرِيَّةٍ، وَلَكِنْ لاَ أَجِدُ حَمُولَةً، وَلاَ أَجِدُ مَا أَحْمِلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ، وَيَشُقُّ عَلَىَّ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفُوا عَنِّي، وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي قَاتَلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقُتِلْتُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيِيتُ ثُمَّ قُتِلْتُ، ثُمَّ أُحْيِيتُ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Were it not for the fear that it would be difficult for my followers, I would not have remained behind any Sariya, (army-unit) but I don't have riding camels and have no other means of conveyance to carry them on, and it is hard for me that my companions should remain behind me. No doubt I wish I could fight in Allah's Cause and be martyred and come to life again to be martyred and come to life once more
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, আমি যদি আমার উম্মাতের জন্য কষ্টকর মনে না করতাম, তবে আমি কোন সেনা অভিযান থেকে পিছিয়ে থাকতাম না। কিন্তু আমি তো (সকলের জন্য) সাওয়ারী সংগ্রহ করতে পারছি না এবং আমি এতগুলো সাওয়ারী পাচ্ছি না যার উপর আমি তাদের আরোহণ করাতে পারি। আর আমার জন্য এটা কষ্টদায়ক হবে যে, তারা আমার থেকে পেছনে পড়ে থাকবে। আমি তো এটাই কামনা করি যে, আমি আল্লাহর রাহে জিহাদ করব এবং শহীদ হয়ে যাবো, অতঃপর আমাকে আবার জীবিত করা হবে এবং আমি আবার শহীদ হবো। অতঃপর আমাকে আবার জীবিত করা হবে। (৩৬) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৭৫১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
