Musnad Abi Ya'la 2331 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When your
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَوْدِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: " لَمَّا أُصِيبَ إِخْوَانُكُمْ بِأُحُدٍ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ فِي أَجْوَافِ طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ تَرِدُ أَنْهَارَ الْجَنَّةِ وَتَأْكُلُ مِنْ ثِمَارِهَا وَتَأْوِي إِلَى قَنَادِيلَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُعَلَّقَةٍ فِي ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ. فَلَمَّا وَجَدُوا طِيبَ مَأْكَلِهِمْ وَمَشْرَبِهِمْ وَمَقِيلِهِمْ قَالُوا: مَنْ يُبَلِّغُ إِخْوَانَنَا عَنَّا أَنَّا أَحْيَاءٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ نُرْزَقُ؛ لِأَنْ لَا يَنْكُلُوا عِنْدَ الْحَرْبِ وَلَا يَزْهَدُوا فِي الْجِهَادِ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ اللَّهُ: أَنَا أُبَلِّغُهُمْ عَنْكُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تبارك وتعالى {وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ} [آل عمران: 169] "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When your brothers were martyred at Uhud, Allah Almighty placed their souls inside green birds. They come to the rivers of Paradise, eat of its fruits, and nest in lamps of gold hanging in the shade of the Throne. So when they found the excellence and comfort of their food, their drink and their resting place, they said: 'Who will convey to our brothers on our behalf the news that we are alive in Paradise and are being given provision, so that they do not show cowardice at the time of battle and do not turn away from jihad?' Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'I will convey this message to them on your behalf.' So Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, revealed this verse: 'And never think of those who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead; rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.' [Surah Al Imran: 169]"
