حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا أُصِيبَ إِخْوَانُكُمْ بِأُحُدٍ جَعَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ فِي أَجْوَافِ طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ تَرِدُ أَنْهَارَ الْجَنَّةِ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ ثِمَارِهَا، وَتَأْوِي إِلَى قَنَادِيلَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ، فَلَمَّا وَجَدُوا طِيبَ مَشْرَبِهِمْ وَمَأْكَلِهِمْ، وَحُسْنَ مُنْقَلَبِهِمْ قَالُوا: يَا لَيْتَ إِخْوَانَنَا يَعْلَمُونَ بِمَا صَنَعَ اللهُ لَنَا لِئَلَّا يَزْهَدُوا فِي الْجِهَادِ، وَلَا يَنْكُلُوا عَنِ الْحَرْبِ، فَقَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: أَنَا أُبَلِّغُهُمْ عَنْكُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْآيَاتِ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَلا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا.

✧ When your brothers were struck down at Uhud, God, Mighty and Majestic, placed their souls in the crops of green birds that come to the rivers of Paradise, eat from its fruits, and take shelter in lanterns of gold in the shade of the Throne. When they found the pleasantness of their drink and food, and the excellence of their turning, they said: 'Would that our brothers knew what God has done for us, so that they would not be averse to jihad, nor hold back from war.' God, Mighty and Majestic, said: 'I shall convey it to them on your behalf.' Then God, Mighty and Majestic, sent down these verses to His Messenger: 'Do not think those who were killed [in the way of God are dead...].'"
