Talhah bin Khirash said:
I head Jabir bin 'Abdullah say 'When 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin )Haram) was killed on the Day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah met me, and said: O Jabir, shall I not tell you what Allah has said to your father? Yahya said in his Hadith: And he said: 'O Jabir, why do I see you broken-hearted?' I (Jabir) said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my father has been martyred and he has left behind dependents and debts.' He said: 'Shall I not give you the glad tidings of that with which Allah met your father?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Allah never spoke to anyone except from behind a screen, but He spoke to your father directly, and He said: O My slave! Ask something from Me and I shall give it to you. He said: O Lord, bring me back to life so that I may be killed in Your cause a second time. The Lord, Glorified is He, said: I have already decreed that they will not return to life. He said: My Lord, then convey (this news) to those whom I have left behind. Allah said: Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of Allah, Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision.
