Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Jabir! Do you know? Allah Almighty brought your father to life, and Allah Almighty said to him: 'Wish for something.' So he said: 'I wish to be brought back to life and to be killed once again in Your path.' Allah Almighty said: 'I have decreed that (those who depart from the world) will not return.'"
