(18). 3010. Mūsā bin Ibrāhīm bin Kathīr Al-Anṣārī narrated: "I heard Ṭalḥah bin Khīrāsh say: 'I heard Jābir bin 'Adullāh saying: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ met me and said to me: 'O Jābir! Why do I see you upset?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! My father was martyred [on the Day of Uhud] leaving family and debt behind.'" "He (ﷺ) said: 'Shall I give you news of what your father met Allāh with?'" He said: "But of course O Messenger of Allāh!" He said: 'Allāh does not speak to anyone except from behind a veil, but He brought your father to speak to Him directly. He said: "[O My slave!] Do you wish that I give You anything?' He said: 'O Lord! Give me life so that I may fight for You a second time.' So the Lord [Blessed and Most High] said: 'It has been decreed by Me That they shall not return.'"[1] He said: "So this Āyah was revealed: Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of Allāh."[2]

[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route. We do not know of it except as a
narration of Mūsā bin Ibrāhīm. 'Alī bin 'Abdullāh bin Al-Madīnī and more than one of the great people of Hadīth reported it like this: "From Mūsā bin Ibrāhīm." And 'Abdullāh bin Muḥammad bin 'Aqīl reported some of this from Jābir.

Commentary
The martyrs in the Path of Allāh gain everlasting joyful life and the distinctive nearness to Allāh. They have high ranks and degrees and in the Neighborhood of their Lord's Mercy, they enjoy His favors. They rejoice and celebrate their good work; and they express their desire and wish to come to the worldly life to be martyred again.
