It has been narrated on the authority of Masruq who said: We asked Abdullah about the Qur'anic verse: "Think not of those
who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they are alive, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord...." (iii.169).
He said: We asked the meaning of the verse (from the Holy Prophet) who said: The souls of the martyrs live in the bodies of
green birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise
wherever they like and then nestle in these chandeliers. Once their Lord cast a glance at them and said: Do ye want
anything? They said: What more can we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise wherever we like. Their Lord asked them the
same question thrice. When they saw that they would continue to be asked and not left (without answering the question),
they said: O Lord, we wish that Thou mayest return our souls to our bodies so that we may be slain in Thy cause once again.
When He (Allah) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy in heaven).

Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There will be civil strife which wipe out the Arabs, and their slain will go to Hell.
During it the tongue will be more severe than blows of the sword.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 3859 Narrated by
Utbah ibn AbdusSulami
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The slain are of three types: 1) A believer who strives with his property and
person in Allah's cause and when he meets the enemy fights till he is killed. (Of him the Prophet said that that martyr who has
suffered trial is in Allah's tent under His Throne and is not excelled by the prophets except in the degree of the prophetic
office.) 2) A believer who mingles a good deed with another which is evil, who fights with his person and property in Allah's
cause, fighting till he is killed when he meets the enemy. (Of him the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that it is a cleansing
agent which has obliterated his sins and his errors, for the sword obliterates errors, and he will be introduced by whichever of
the gates of Paradise he wishes.) 3) A hypocrite who strives with his person and property, and when he meets the enemy
fights till he is killed; but that one will go to Hell, for the sword does not obliterate hypocrisy."

SLANDERERS:
4:46 - Of the Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) places and say: "We hear
and we disobey"; and "Hear what is not heard": and "Ra`ina"; with a twist of their tongues and
a slander to faith. If only they had said: "We hear and we obey"; and "Do hear"; and "Do look
at us": it would have been better for them and more proper; but Allah hath cursed them for
their unbelief; and but few of them will believe. 565566
565 See ii. 93, n. 98. A trick of the Jews was to twist words and expressions, so as to ridicule the most solemn teachings
of Faith. Where they should have said, "We hear and we obey," they said aloud, "We hear," and whispered, "We
disobey." Where they should have said respectfully, "We hear," they added in a whisper, "May you not hear," by way
of ridicule. Where they claimed the attention of the Prophet, they used an ambiguous word apparently harmless, but in
their intention disrespectful. (4.46)
566 See ii. 104, n. 106. "Raina" if used respectfully in the Arabic way, would have meant "Please attend to us." With a
twist of their tongue, they suggested an insulting meaning, such as "O thou that takest us to pasture!" or in Hebrew,
"Our bad one!" (4.46)
4:112 - But if anyone earns a fault or a sin and throws it on to one that is innocent He carries (on
himself) (both) a falsehood and a flagrant sin.
9:79 - Those who slander such of the believers as give themselves freely to (deeds of) charity as
well as such as can find nothing to give except the fruits of their labor and throw ridicule on
them Allah will throw back their ridicule on them: and they shall have a grievous penalty. 1333
1333 When financial help is necessary for the Cause, every Muslim contributes what he can. Those who can afford large
sums are proud to bring them in of their own free-will, and those who are very poor contribute their mite or their
labour. Both kinds of gifts are equally precious because of the faith and good-will behind them, and only cynics will
