It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'The parable of a Mujahid who strives in the cause of Allah - and Allah knows best who in His cause - is that of one who fasts, prays Qiyam, focuses with proper humility, bows and prostrates.'

I wish that I could be killed then brought back to life, then killed again.'
