جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3010
Narrated Musa bin Ibrahim bin Kathir Al-Ansari: I heard Talhah bin Khirash say: 'I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah saying: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) met me and said to me: 'O Jabir! Why do I see you upset?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! My father was martyred (on the Day of Uhud) leaving my family and debt behind.' He (ﷺ) said: 'Shall I give you news of what your father met Allah with?' He said: But of course O Messenger of Allah! He said: 'Allah 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 (21:95).' He said: So this Ayah was revealed: Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of Allah (3:169).
