Sincerely seeking martyrdom

muslim:1908Shaybān b. Farrūkh > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit > Anas b. Mālik

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever sincerely seeks martyrdom will be granted it, even if it does not befall him."

مسلم:١٩٠٨حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ طَلَبَ الشَّهَادَةَ صَادِقًا أُعْطِيَهَا، وَلَوْ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ».

The station of martyrdom is granted to the one who makes a dua for it regardless of how one dies

muslim:1909Abū al-Ṭāhir and Ḥarmalah b. Yaḥyá > Abū al-Ṭāhir > Ḥarmalah > ʿAbdullāh b. Wahb > Abū Shurayḥ > Sahl b. Abū Umāmah b. Sahl b. Ḥunayf from his father from his grandfather

that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Who sought martyrdom with sincerity will be ranked by Allah among the martyrs even if he died on his bed."

In his version of the tradition Abd Tahir did not mention the words:" with sincerity".

مسلم:١٩٠٩حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَرْمَلَةَ قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ حَرْمَلَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ أَنَّ سَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ الشَّهَادَةَ بِصِدْقٍ بَلَّغَهُ اللَّهُ مَنَازِلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَإِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ».

وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ بِصِدْقٍ
