Takhrij Hadith 1308: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ…"

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me and said to me: "O Jabir, why is it that I see you brokenhearted?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah, my father was martyred, leaving behind a family to provide for and debt." He said: "Shall I not give you glad tidings of what Allah granted your father?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Allah has never spoken to anyone except from behind a veil, but He brought your father to life and spoke to him directly. He said: "O My servant, ask of Me and I will give you." He said: "O Lord, bring me back to life so that I may be killed for Your sake a second time." The Lord, Mighty and Majestic, said: "It has already been decreed by Me that they shall not return." And this verse was revealed: {Never think of those martyred in the cause of Allah as dead}.
