1641. Ka'b bin Mālik narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The souls of the martyrs are in green birds, suspended from the fruit of Paradise, or the trees of Paradise." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٦٤١ - حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَرْوَاحَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ،» تَعْلُقُ مِنْ ثَمَرَةِ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Martyrs whose souls are prevented from entering Paradise on account of their unpaid debts or some other major sin, are lodged in the bellies of green birds and are free to go anywhere inside Paradise. They are also free to take their resort in the lamps suspended from the Mighty Throne. (For details regarding the sojourns of the souls, see Kitāb Ar-Rūḥ by Imām Ibn Qayyim. pp.143-145).
