245 - Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Malik and Muḥammad b. Idrīs narrated to me, saying: Abū al-Yamān informed us: Ismāʿīl b. ʿAyyāsh narrated to us, from ʿUmar b. Muḥammad, from Zayd b. Aslam, from his father, from Abū Hurayra, from the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, that he asked Gabriel, peace be upon him, about this verse: {And whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead, except whom God wills}: "Who are those whom God did not will to fall dead?" He said: "They are the martyrs. God will resurrect them girded with their swords around His Throne. Angels from the gathering place will meet them with noble steeds of ruby, their halters of white pearl, with saddles of gold, their reins of fine silk and heavy brocade, and their cushions and reins softer than silk, and their halters extending as far as the men's sight. They will travel in Paradise on horses. When the promenade becomes long, they will say: 'Take us to our Lord, Blessed and Exalted, so we may look at Him, how He judges between His creation.' God will laugh at them, and if God, Mighty and Majestic, laughs at a servant in a place, then there is no reckoning upon him."
