The Chapters on Jihad
Sunan Ibn Mājah 2800
يَا رَبِّ تُحْيِينِي فَأُقْتَلُ فِيكَ ثَانِيَةً . قَالَ إِنَّهُ سَبَقَ مِنِّي أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهَا لاَ يُرْجَعُونَ . قَالَ يَا رَبِّ فَأَبْلِغْ مَنْ وَرَائِي . فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا}
yā rabbi tuḥyīnī fa-uqtalu fīka thāniyatan . qāla innah sabaqa minnī annahum ilayhā lā yurjaʿūna . qāla yā rabbi fa-abligh man warāʾī . fa-anzala-Llāh ʿazza wajalla hadhihi al-āyaha walā taḥsabanna adh-dhīna qutilūā fī sabīli-Llāh amwātan

The full narration
It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:“When ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Haram was killed, on the Day of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘O Jabir, shall I not tell you what Allah said to your father?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Allah does not speak to anyone except from behind a screen, but He spoke to your father face to face and said: “O My slave, ask Me and I shall give you.” He said: “O my Lord, bring me back to life so that I may be killed for Your sake a second time.” He said: “I have already decreed that they will not return (to the world after death).” He said: “O Lord, convey (the good news about my state) to those whom I have left behind.” So Allah revealed this Verse: ‘Think not of those as dead who are killed in the way of Allah.’”[3:]
