Jami at-Tirmidhi 3010 (Book 47, Hadith 62) #28659
Comforting Jabir bin 'Abdullah

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) comforted Jabir bin 'Abdullah by informing him that his father was granted a special audience with Allah and asked for life to fight in His way again, which resulted in the revelation of the ayah 3:169.

Narrated Musa bin Ibrahim bin Kathir Al-Ansari: "I heard Talhah bin Khirash say: 'I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah saying: "The Messenger of Allah 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 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)".
