وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمِيرَةَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ عَبْدًا لَوْ خَرَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مِنْ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ إِلَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ هَرَمًا فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ لَحَقَّرَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَلَوَدَّ أَنَّهُ رُدَّ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا كَيْمَا يَزْدَادَ من الْأجر والثَّواب رَوَاهُمَا أَحْمد
Sayyiduna Muhammad ibn Abu Umayrah (عميرة) or Amirah), who was one of the Sahabah (Prophet's Companions) رضي الله عنهم of Allah's Messenger ﷺ, said, "If a man bows himself in (worship and) obedience to Allah from the time he was born to the day he died of old age, he would deem it negligible on that day (of resurrection) and would long to be sent back to the world to earn more reward and a higher rank."
