Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قُتِلْتُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَيْنَ أَنَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَلْقَى تَمَرَاتٍ فِي يَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَاتَلَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Mansur informed us; he said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Amr, who said: I heard Jabir say: On the day of Uhud, a man said: What do you think—if I am killed in the cause of Allah, where will I be? He said: In Paradise. The man tossed the dates from his hand, then fought until he was killed.
