Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 0, Hadith 190
Talhah bin Khirash said: “I head Jabir bin ‘Abdullah say” ‘When ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin )Haram) was killed on the Day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah 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 except 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 as dead who are killed in the way of Allah, Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have provision.”

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 0, Hadith 190
Hasan (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. The Sunan Ibn Majah holds a significant place as one of the six major books of hadith in Sunni Islamic tradition. Its compiler, Ibn Majah, completed this work in the 9th century, with his death occurring in 886 CE. The collection is extensive, featuring around 4,000 hadiths that provide guidance on diverse themes. These include core tenets of faith, the correct performance of religious rituals, ethical conduct, and rulings on social interactions. Although it is a respected compilation, it is generally accorded a lower rank in terms of overall authenticity when compared to the other five collections. This is primarily due to the inclusion of some narrations deemed less reliable by hadith critics. Nevertheless, it remains a fundamental text for academic and religious study.
