Hadith of the day

"I heard Jabir bin 'Abdullah say: "When 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (Haram) was killed on the Day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (saw) 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 but 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 dead who are killed in the way of Allah. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision."[3:169] (Hasan)
