حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ الْحَرَامِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ خِرَاشٍ ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : لَمَّا قُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ مَا قَالَ اللَّهُ لِأَبِيكَ ؟ " وَقَالَ يَحْيَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا جَابِرُ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ مُنْكَسِرًا ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتُشْهِدَ أَبِي وَتَرَكَ عِيَالًا وَدَيْنًا ، قَالَ : " أَفَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ بِمَا لَقِيَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَبَاكَ " ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " مَا كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا قَطُّ إِلَّا مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ ، وَكَلَّمَ أَبَاكَ كِفَاحًا ، فَقَالَ : يَا " عَبْدِي تَمَنَّ عَلَيَّ أُعْطِكَ " ، قَالَ : يَا رَبِّ تُحْيِينِي فَأُقْتَلُ فِيكَ ثَانِيَةً ، فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ سُبْحَانَهُ : " إِنَّهُ سَبَقَ مِنِّي أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهَا لَا يَرْجِعُونَ " ، قَالَ : يَا رَبِّ فَأَبْلِغْ مَنْ وَرَائِي ، قَالَ : فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَلا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ سورة آل عمران آية 169 .
´Talhah bin Khirash said:` "I head Jabir bin 'Abdullah say" 'When 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin )Haram) was killed on the Day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah met me, and said: "O Jabir, shall I not tell you what Allah has said to your father?" Yahya said in his Hadith: "And he said: 'O Jabir, why do I see you broken-hearted?' I (Jabir) said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my father has been martyred and he has left behind dependents and debts.' He said: 'Shall I not give you the glad tidings of that with which Allah met your father?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Allah never spoke to anyone except from behind a screen, but He spoke to your father directly, and He said: "O My slave! Ask something from Me and I shall give it to you." He said: "O Lord, bring me back to life so that I may be killed in Your cause a second time." The Lord, Glorified is He, said: "I have already decreed that they will not return to life." He said: "My Lord, then convey (this news) to those whom I have left behind." Allah said: "Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of Allah, Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision."

Commentary:
(1)
The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to participate in the sorrows and joys of his noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum). In the same way, every leader and chief should be mindful of the happiness and sorrow of his companions and subordinates, and should treat them with affection.
(2)
The bereaved family members of the deceased should be consoled in such a manner that their grief is alleviated. One should avoid adopting such an approach or saying such things that would increase their sorrow or cause them distress.
(3)
In this hadith, there is affirmation of the attribute of Speech (kalam) for Allah, the Exalted.
(4)
After death, a person enters the realm of the Hereafter; therefore, there he may be honored with conversing with Allah, the Exalted, and beholding Him.
(5)
The greatness of the martyrs (shuhada) is manifested from this hadith.
(6)
The status of Abdullah bin Haram (radi Allahu anhu) is immense, for Allah, the Exalted, Himself inquired about his wish.
(7)
The reward of martyrdom (shahada) is so great that the martyr desires to return to the world to attain it again. No other inhabitant of Paradise, besides the martyr, wishes to return to the world.
(8)
The connection of the deceased with the world is severed, and they cannot return to the world; this also refutes the “doctrine of transmigration of souls” (aqidah tanasukh arwah).
(9)
The life of the martyrs (shuhada) is also a barzakh (intermediate) life like that of other people, not a worldly one. In this life, they enjoy the blessings of Paradise, as mentioned in the hadith that the souls of the martyrs, in the form of green birds, eat and drink in Paradise and benefit from its blessings. (Sahih Muslim, al-Imarah, Chapter: Clarification that the souls of the martyrs are in Paradise, Hadith: 1887)
