The Shaykh :"The life of the martyr is textually established***not by analogy with established pillars"
Is that not so? The evidence is[Ali 'Imran 3:169] [Al-Baqarah 2:154] So Allah the Exalted denied this assumption and prohibited us from saying that they are dead, by explicit text. As for the life of the prophets in your view, it is by analogy, and matters of the unseen do not admit of analogy.
"This is with the emphatic prohibition that we*** call him dead, that is in the Qur'an"
This means that his being alive is established by explicit text, and in addition to that, there is an emphatic prohibition against calling him dead. Where is this taken from? From His saying[Al-Baqarah 2:154] This is a prohibition. [Ali 'Imran 3:169] This is also a prohibition, more emphatic than the first, because the first is a prohibition against the wording, and the second is a prohibition against the estimation and assumption, [Ali 'Imran 3:169].

ولا تحسبن الذين قتلوا في سبيل الله أمواتا بل أحياءAnd do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive
ولا تقولوا لمن يقتل في سبيل الله أموات بل أحياء"This is with the emphatic prohibition that we*** call him dead, that is in the Qur'an"
This means that his being alive is established by explicit text, and in addition to that, there is an emphatic prohibition against calling him dead. Where is this taken from? From His saying
