وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمۡوَٰتَۢاۚ بَلۡ أَحۡيَآءٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ يُرۡزَقُونَ
(169) Do not think that those who got killed in the cause of Allah[746] are dead. Nay but they are alive with their Lord ˹being handsomely˺ provided for[747].
[746] Martyrs.
[747] Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “When your brothers were struck down in the Battle of Badr, Allah placed their souls in the ˹abdominal˺ cavities of green fowls, they drink from the rivers of Paradise, eat from its fruits and come back at the end of the day to repose in chandeliers hung in the Shadow of the ˹Majestic˺ Throne. For all of this, they ˹the martyred Believers˺ said: “Who would tell our brothers about us; that we are in Paradise being handsomely provided for so that they may not give up fighting in the cause of Allah or cower in war?” Allah Almighty said: “I will tell them on your behalf”. Then He revealed: “Do not think that those who got killed in the cause of Allah are dead. Nay but they are alive with their Lord ˹being handsomely˺ provided for”. (Abū Dāwūd: 2520, Aḥmad: 2388; another version is found in Muslim: 1887)
