Whom do you consider to be a martyr among you? They (the Companions) said: Messenger, of Allah, one who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr. He said: Then (if this is the definition of a martyr) the martyrs of my Umma will be small in number. They asked: Messenger of Allah, who are they? He said: One who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr; one who dies in the way of Allah, is a martyr; one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who dies of cholera is a martyr. Ibn Miqsam said: I testify the truth of your father's statement (with regard to this tradition) that the Prophet ﷺ said: One who is drowned is a martyr.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهِيدَ فِيكُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ قَالَ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ قَالُوا فَمَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي الطَّاعُونِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي الْبَطْنِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ قَالَ ابْنُ مِقْسَمٍ أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِيكَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَالْغَرِيقُ شَهِيدٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "How do you consider the martyr among you?" They said: "The one who is killed in the cause of Allah." He said: "Verily, the martyrs of my Ummah (nation) are few. The killing in the cause of Allah is martyrdom, while the stomach is martyrdom, drowning is martyrdom, childbirth is martyrdom, and dying due to plague is martyrdom."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهِيدَ فِيكُمْ؟ قَالُوا مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْبَطَنُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْغَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالنُّفَسَاءُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "How do you count the martyr among you?" They said: "The one who fights and is killed in the cause of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, the martyrs of my Ummah are few. The one killed in the cause of Allah is a martyr, the one who dies of the plague is a martyr, the one who dies of a stomach illness is a martyr, and a woman who dies due to childbirth is a martyr."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهِيدَ فِيكُمْ؟ قَالُوا الَّذِي يُقَاتِلُ فَيُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتِيلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدٌ يَعْنِي النُّفَسَاءَ  

Whom do you consider to be a martyr among you? They (the Companions) said: Messenger, of Allah, one who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr. He said: Then (if this is the definition of a martyr) the martyrs of my Umma will be small in number. They asked: Messenger of Allah, who are they? He said: One who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr; one who dies in the way of Allah, is a martyr; one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who dies of cholera is a martyr. Ibn Miqsam said: I testify the truth of your father's statement (with regard to this tradition) that the Prophet ﷺ said: One who is drowned is a martyr. (Using translation from Muslim 1915a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَعُدُّونَ الشُّهَدَاءَ فِيكُمْ؟ » قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ قَالَ «إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ» قَالُوا مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي الطَّاعُونِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي بَطْنٍ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said one day, "How do you count the martyr among you?" We said, "O Messenger of Allah, those who are killed in the cause of Allah." He said, "Indeed, the martyrs of my nation are few. Those who are killed in the cause of Allah are martyrs, the one who dies of a stomach disease is a martyr, the one who is killed while protecting his property is a martyr, the woman who dies during childbirth is a martyr, and the one who dies by drowning is a martyr." Al-Hulwani added in his narration, "And the one who dies of plague is a martyr, the one who dies in a fire is a martyr, and the one who dies in a foreign land is a martyr."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ «مَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهِيدَ فِيكُمْ؟» قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ «إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَالْبَطْنُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمُتَرَدِّي شَهِيدٌ وَالنُّفَسَاءُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِيقُ شَهِيدٌ» زَادَ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ «وَالسُّلُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْحَرِيقُ شَهِيدٌ وَالَغَرِيبُ شَهِيدٌ»  

"مَا تَعُدُّون الشَّهِيدَ فِيكم؟ قَالُوا: مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، قال: إِنَّ شُهَدَاء أُمَّتِي إِذَن لَقَلِيلٌ، مَنْ قُتِلَ في سبيل الله فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ، والمُتَرَدِّى شَهيدٌ، والنفَسَاءُ شَهِيدٌ، والغَريقُ شهيدٌ والسُّلُّ شَهِيدٌ، والحَريق شَهِيدٌ، والغريبُ شَهيدٌ".  

"مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الشَّهِيدِ فِيكُمْ؟ قَالوا: القَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، قَال: إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتي إِذَنْ لَقَلِيل، مَن قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ، وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي سِبيلِ اللهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ، وَالمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَالمَطعُونُ شَهِيدٌ، والغَرقُ شَهِيدٌ".
