Is there a reward for one who desires martyrdom in the path of Allah without performing the actions that lead to it, comparable to the reward of one who actually attains martyrdom?

Question : Desiring it without action, meaning, for example, a person wants martyrdom but does not act.

Answer : The apparent meaning of the hadith is that whoever desires it sincerely, but it is well known that whoever desires something sincerely must perform the causes for it. So if he performs the causes but it does not become easy for him, he will attain it.
