حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مُرَّةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ:

سَأَلْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ عَنْ أَرْوَاحِ الشُّهَدَاءِ، وَلَوْلَا عَبْدُ اللهِ مَا وَجَدْنَا أَحَدًا يُحَدِّثُنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَرْوَاحَ الشُّهَدَاءِ عِنْدَ اللهِ فِي حَوَاصِلِ طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ، تَسْرَحُ فِي أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ، ثُمَّ تَأْوِي إِلَى قَنَادِيلَ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: مَا تُرِيدُونَ ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: مَا نُرِيدُ شَيْئًا - وَيَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثًا -، إِلَّا أَنْ نُرَدَّ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَنُقْتَلَ

✧ We asked Abdullah about the souls of the martyrs—and had it not been for Abdullah we would have found no one to tell us. He said: The souls of the martyrs are with Allah in the crops of green birds, which roam in the rivers of Paradise wherever they wish, then return to lanterns beneath the Throne. He, Mighty and Majestic, says to them: “What do you desire?” They say: “We desire nothing”—he said it three times—“except to be returned to the world and killed.”
