٣٤٣٨٤ - حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن سالم عن سعيد بن جبير قال: لما أصيب حمزة بن عبد المطلب ومصعب بن عمير يوم أحد، ورأوا من الخير ما رأوا، قالوا: يا ليت إخواننا يعلمون ما أصبنا من الخير كي يزدادوا رغبة، فقال اللَّه: "أنا أبلغ عنكم"، فأنزل اللَّه: ﴿وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ⦗١٠٤⦘ يُرْزَقُونَ﴾ إلى قوله: ﴿وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾ (١).

Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When Sayyiduna Hamzah bin Abd al-Muttalib and Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) were martyred on the day of the Battle of Uhud, and they saw the reward and favour they were to see, they said: "If only our brothers knew of the reward and favour we have received, so that their eagerness would increase." Allah, Lord of Might, said: "I will convey this message to them on your behalf." Then Allah Almighty revealed these verses: "And never think of those who were killed in the way of Allah as dead; rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision," up to His words: "and that Allah does not let the reward of the believers go to waste." [Aal Imran: 169-171]
