@ MA'ASUMAH NIGERIAN NEWS UPDATED @
All the martyns (Shaheeds) who fought for the sake of Allah and was killed, their grade in Paradise is next to a SIDDIQ, i.e. one who was a forerunner and First to believe in His) Prophet. (Imam Ali (A. S) as a good example).
The grades are : Prophets then the Siddiqs then the martyns, then the righteous ones. Allah shall bestow on the martyns in the Hereafter and even in the graves before resurrection.
It is narrated by Masruq: We asked Abdullahi Bn Mas'ud about this verse :
" THINK NOT OF THOSE SLAIN IN THE PATH OF ALLAH AS DEAD, RATHER THEY ARE ALIVE WITH THEIR LORD BEING PROVIDED WITH SUSTENANCE ."
(AL-IMRAN:169)
He (Abdullahi Bn Mas'ud) said : We asked the Prophet (may Allah mercy and bless be upon him ) the meaning of this verse. So he explained it like this :
"Their souls are inside some green birds beside lanterns suspended from the Divine Throne roaming freely in Paradise wherever they like. Then the take shelter at those lanterns. Once their Lord looked at them and said : " DO YOU WANT ANYTHING ELSE ?" They said : What more shall we want ? We roam freely in Paradise as we like. Allah asked them the same question three times. When they felt that they would not be spared from being asked, they said : " O LORD ! WE LIKE YOU TO PUT BACK OUR SOULS INTO OUR BODIES SO THAT WE MAY BE KILLED IN YOUR WAY ONCE AGAIN ." As Allah saw that they had no wish, they would be let for joy in heaven ."
