....(snip euphemism)...

“O Messenger of Allah, do not deprive us of Paradise!”
Bukhari:V4B52N61 “My uncle Anas said, ‘Allah's Apostle! We were
absent from the first battle you fought against the pagans. If Allah
gives us a chance to do battle, no doubt, He will see how bravely we
fight.'”

Unable to give Muslims a reason to live, Muhammad gave them a reason
to die. Bukhari:V4B52N72 “The Prophet said, ‘Nobody who enters
Paradise likes to go back to the world even if he got everything on
the earth, except a Mujahid [Islamic fighter] who wishes to return so
that he may be martyred ten times because of the dignity he
receives.' Our Prophet told us about the message of Allah: ‘Whoever
among us is killed will go to Paradise.' Umar asked the Prophet, ‘Is
it not true that our men who are killed will go to Paradise and those
of the Pagan's will go to Hell?' The Prophet said, ‘Yes.'”
Bukhari:V4B52N73 “Allah's Apostle said, ‘Know that Paradise is under
the shade of swords.'”

Etc., etc. ad nauseum.
