Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When your brothers were martyred at Uhud, Allah placed their souls in green birds; they go to the rivers of Paradise, eat from the fruits of Paradise, and take shelter in golden lamps under the Throne of Allah. When they saw the excellence of their food and drink and the beauty of their abode, they said: If only our brothers in the world knew how kindly Allah has treated us, so that they would not lose interest in jihad and would not turn away from battle. Allah said: I will convey this message from you to your brothers. So Allah revealed these verses: {وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ قُتِلُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰہِ اَمْوَاتًا بَلْ اَحْیَاء ٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّھِمْ یُرْزَقُوْنَ۔} … And never think of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive, receiving provision from their Lord.
