أَسْأَلُ اللهَ تَعَالى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لِي مِنْهُمْ فَرَجاً عَاجِلًا، فَوَاللهِ لَوْ لَا طَمَعِي عِنْدَ لِقَائِي عَدُوِّي فِي الشَّهَادَةِ، وَتَوْطِينِي نَفْسِي عَلَى الْمَنِيَّةِ، لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَلَّا أَبْقَى مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ يَوْماً وَاحِداً، وَلَا أَلْتَقِيَ بِهِمْ أَبَداً.
Translation
I ask Allāh the Sublime, to give me early relief from them, for by Allāh, had I not been yearning to meet the enemy for martyrdom and not prepared myself for death, I would not have liked to be with these people for a single day nor ever to face the enemy with them.
