The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit who was ill. He found that he was dominated (by the divine decree). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him loudly, but he did not respond. He uttered the Qur'anic verse "We belong to Allah and to Him do we return" and he said: We have been dominated against you, AburRabi'. Then the women cried and wept, and Ibn Atik began to silence them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Leave them, when the divine decree is made, no woman should weep. They (the people) asked: What is necessary happening, Messenger of Allah? He replied: Death. His daughter said: I hope you will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for jihad. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah Most High gave him a reward according to his intentions. What do you consider martyrdom? They said: Being killed in the cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There are seven types of martyrdom in addition to being killed in Allah's cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a martyr; who one is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr.

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ فَصَاحَ بِهِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ» غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ فَصَحْنَ النِّسْوَةُ وَبَكَيْنَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسْكِتْهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُنَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلَا تَبْكِينَّ بَاكِيَةٌ» قَالُوا وَمَا الْوجُوبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْمَوْتُ» قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا قَدْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ؟ قَالُوا الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرْقِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدَةٌ»  

'When news of the death of Zaid bin Harithah, Ja'far bin Abi Talib and 'Abdullah bin Rawahah was announced, the Messenger of Allah sat down and it could be seen that he was grieving. I was looking through a crack in the door, and a man came and said: 'Ja'far's womenfolk are weeping.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Go and prevent them.' He went away, then he came back, and said: I told them not to do that, but they refused to stop; He said: Go and prevent them; He went away then he came back, and said: I told them not to do that, but they refused to stop. He said: 'Throw dust in their mouths.'" Aishah said: "I said: 'May Allah rub his nose in the dust, the one who is over there! You did not leave the Messenger of Allah alone but you were not going to do (what he told you to do)."" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1847)  

لَمَّا أَتَى نَعْيُ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ وَجَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ جَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعْرَفُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْحُزْنُ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ مِنْ صِيرِ الْبَابِ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ نِسَاءَ جَعْفَرٍ يَبْكِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «انْطَلِقْ فَانْهَهُنَّ» فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ نَهَيْتُهُنَّ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَنْتَهِينَ قَالَ «فَانْطَلِقْ فَانْهَهُنَّ» فَانْطَلَقَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ قَدْ نَهَيْتُهُنَّ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَنْتَهِينَ فَقَالَ «انْطَلِقْ فَاحْثُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِنَّ التُّرَابَ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقُلْتُ أَرْغَمَ اللهُ أَنْفَ الْأَبْعَدِ أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا تَرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا أَنْتَ بِفَاعِلٍ
