Riyad as-Salihin, 1318
Samurah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Last night two men (angels) came to me (in a dream) and made me ascend a tree and then admitted me into a nice and excellent house, the like of which I have never seen before. One of them said: 'This house is the house of martyrs'." <b>[Al- Bukhari]</b>.
وعن سمرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : “رأيت الليلة رجلين أتياني فصعدا بي الشجرة وأدخلاني دارًا هي أحسن وأفضل، لم أر قط أحسن منها، قال أما هذه الدار فدار الشهداء" (5)

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) Learning about the various forms of bliss Allah has prepared in Paradise for martyrs makes the grief of the believers over the death of loved ones more tolerable.<br>
2) There is a special merit for ‘Abdullāh, the father of Jābir, which is that the angels shaded him with their wings.<br>
3) It is permissible to weep over the death of someone, without wailing or loud crying - only sadness within the heart and tears in the eyes, along with contentment with the fate decreed by Allah Almighty and submission to it.
