Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ said: When your brethren were smitten at the battle of Uhud, Allah put their spirits in the crops of green birds which go down to the rivers of Paradise, eat its fruit and nestle in lamps of gold in the shade of the Throne. Then when they experienced the sweetness of their food, drink and rest, they asked: Who will tell our brethren about us that we are alive in Paradise provided with provision, in order that they might not be disinterested in jihad and recoil in war? Allah Most High said: I shall tell them about you; so Allah sent down; "And do not consider those who have been killed in Allah's path". till the end of the verse.
This hadith teaches us several important values such as courage, faithfulness, perseverance and selflessness - all qualities necessary for one to become a true believer and follower of Islam. It also reminds us that we should never give up hope or lose sight of our goals no matter how difficult things may seem at times because God is always there to help us through our struggles if we remain steadfast on His path. Finally, it encourages us to strive towards righteousness even if it means sacrificing our own lives for what is right - something which many brave men and women throughout history have done without hesitation or fear despite knowing full well what awaits them after death.
