اُردوEn
يَحَارُ فِيهَا الطَّرْفُ شَدِيدَةُ سَوَادِ الْعَيْنِ شَدِيدَةُ بَيَاضِ الْعَيْنِ. {وَزَوَّجْنَاهُمْ} أَنْكَحْنَاهُمْ.
Those whose pupils will be intensely black and the whiteness will be very clear, and (in Surah ad-Dukhan) the meaning of «وزوجناهم» is «أنكحناهم».
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَمُوتُ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا وَأَنَّ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا ، وَمَا فِيهَا إِلَّا الشَّهِيدَ لِمَا يَرَى مِنْ فَضْلِ الشَّهَادَةِ ، فَإِنَّهُ يَسُرُّهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَيُقْتَلَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى " .
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in Allah's Cause)."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In one narration, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to Jabir (radi Allahu anhu):
“Do you know what Allah, the Exalted, said to your noble father?” He replied that Allah said:
‘O Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu)! Express any wish so that it may be fulfilled.’
Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) submitted:
‘O Allah! Bring me back to life so that I may be martyred again in Your path.’
Allah, the Exalted, said that it has already been decreed and decided that whoever has departed from the world will not be sent back under any circumstances.”
(Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi, Tafsir al-Qur’an, Hadith 3010)
➋
From the aforementioned hadith, the greatness of martyrdom (shahadah) becomes evident. In reality, among virtuous deeds, there is only one jihad in which a person offers his life as a sacrifice; therefore, the status of martyrdom has been made very lofty.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
➊ The martyr (shahid) attained this status because his soul is present in Paradise, whereas the souls of ordinary Muslims will reach there on the Day of Resurrection.
➋ Allah and His angels bear witness to their being among the people of Paradise, and as soon as the soul departs, it witnesses its own honor and reward.
➌ At the time of death, angels are present with them and take their soul.
➍ Their outward state is a testimony to their faith (iman) and a good ending (husn al-khatimah).
