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 رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ فَصَاحَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ فَصَاحَ النِّسْوَةُ وَبَكَيْنَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسْكِتُهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلاَ تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ قَالُوا وَمَا الْوُجُوبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا فَإِنَّكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ قَالُوا الْقَتْلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرِيقِ شَهِيدٌ وَالَّذِي يَمُوتُ تَحْتَ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدٌ

the Prophet came to visit 'Abdullah bin Thabit (when he was sick) and found him very close to death. He called out to him and he did not respond, so the Messenger of Allah said: "Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return," and said: "We wanted you to live but we were overtaken by the decree of Allah, O Abu Ar-Rabi." The women screamed and wept, and Ibn "Atik started telling them to quiet. The Messenger of Allah said: "Leave them; when the inevitable comes, no one should weep." They said: "What is the inevitable, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Death." His daughter said: "I had hoped that you would become a martyr, for you had prepared yourself for it." The Messenger of Allah said: "Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has rewarded him according to his intention. What do you think martyrdom is?" They said: "Being killed for the sake of Allah." The Messenger of Allah said: "Martyrdom is of seven types besides being killed for the sake of Allah. The one who dies of the plague is a martyr; the one who is crushed by a falling building is a martyr; the one who is crusheds by a falling building is a martyr; the one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; the one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; the one who is burned to death is a martyr, and the woman who dies in pregnancy is a martyr."

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ عَلَيْهِ فَصَاحَ بِهِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ قَدْ غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ فَصِحْنَ النِّسَاءُ وَبَكَيْنَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسَكِّتُهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلاَ تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ قَالُوا وَمَا الْوُجُوبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا قَدْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ قَالُوا الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِيقُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرَقِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدَةٌ

"We thought that your death would come when fighting in the cause of Allah." He said: "You think that martyrdom only comes when one is killed in the cause of Allah. In that case your martyrs would be few. Being killed in the cause of Allah is martyrdom, dying of an abdominal complaint is martyrdom, being burned to death is martyrdom, drowning is martyrdom, being crushed beneath a falling wall is martyrdom, dying of pleurisy is martyrdom, and the woman who dies along with her fetus is a martyr." A man said: "Are you weeping when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is sitting here?" He said: "Let them be, but if he dies on one should weep for him."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَادَ جَبْرًا فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ سَمِعَ النِّسَاءَ يَبْكِينَ وَيَقُلْنَ كُنَّا نَحْسُبُ وَفَاتَكَ قَتْلاً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ إِلاَّ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَكُمْ إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْبَطْنُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْحَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْغَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَغْمُومُ يَعْنِي الْهَدِمَ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَجْنُوبُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدَةٌ قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَتَبْكِينَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَاعِدٌ قَالَ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلاَ تَبْكِيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ بَاكِيَةٌ

“We hoped that when he died it would be as a martyr in the cause of Allah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “In that case the martyrs of my nation would be few. Being killed in the cause of Allah is martyrdom; dying of the plague is martyrdom; when a pregnant woman dies in childbirth that is martyrdom; and dying of drowning, or burning, or of pleurisy, is martyrdom.”

أَنَّهُ مَرِضَ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ وَفَاتُهُ قَتْلَ شَهَادَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَطْعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهَادَةٌ يَعْنِي الْحَامِلَ وَالْغَرِقُ وَالْحَرِقُ وَالْمَجْنُوبُ يَعْنِي ذَاتَ الْجَنْبِ شَهَادَةٌ

[AI] 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

[AI] 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

[AI] To be a martyr, indeed you have sacrificed your life. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah has decreed its reward according to one's intention. What do you consider martyrdom to be?" They said, "Being killed for the sake of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Martyrdom is seven, other than being killed for the sake of Allah: one who dies due to a plague is a martyr, one who dies drowning is a martyr, one who dies due to a disease in the abdomen is a martyr, one who dies due to a fire is a martyr, one who dies under a collapsing building is a martyr, one who dies as a result of childbirth is a martyr, and a woman who dies while defending her honor is a martyr."

أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا أَمَا إِنَّكَ قَدْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ؟ قَالُوا قَتْلٌ فِي سَبِيلِاللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرِيقِ شَهِيدٌ وَالَّذِي يَمُوتُ تَحْتَ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدَةٌ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir ibn Atik that Atik ibn al-Harith, the grandfather of Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir on his mother's side, told him that Jabir ibn Atik had told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit and found him in his death-throes. He called to him but he did not reply. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We belong to Allah, and to Him we are returning," and added, "You are being taken from us, Abur-Rabiʿ." The women cried out and wept, and Jabir began to silence them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave them, and when the necessary time comes, none of the women should cry." They said, "Messenger of Allah, what is the necessary time?" and he replied, "When he dies." The dying man's daughter said, "By Allah, I hope that you will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for battle," and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah has made his reward fall according to his intention. What do you consider dying a martyr to be?" They said, "Death in the way of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are seven kinds of martyr other than those killed in the way of Allah. Someone who is killed by the plague is a martyr, someone who drowns is a martyr, someone who dies of pleurisy is a martyr, someone who dies of a disease of the belly is a martyr, someone who dies by fire is a martyr, someone who dies under a falling building is a martyr and a woman who dies in childbirth is a martyr."

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.

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهِيدَ فِيكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْغَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْحَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَالْمَرْأَةُ يَقْتُلُهَا وَلَدُهَا فِي بَطْنِهَا شَهَادَةٌ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited him during his illness, and someone said, "If we hope that his death will be as a result of being killed in the way of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the martyrs of my Ummah are few. The one who is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr, the one who dies due to a stomach disease is a martyr, the one who dies due to the plague is a martyr, the one who drowns is a martyr, the one who dies due to a fire is a martyr, and the one who dies due to a falling building is a martyr."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَادَهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ إِنْ كُنَّ لَنَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ وَفَاتُهُ قَتْلًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتِيلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِيقُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْحَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَجْنُوبُ شَهِيدٌ»

[AI] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the Zakat three times, and he said, "Why did you not bring the witness with you?" They said, "The one who is killed in the way of Allah." He said, "Indeed, the martyrs of my Ummah (nation) are few. Death in the way of Allah is martyrdom, the plague is martyrdom, a woman who dies during childbirth is martyrdom, death by burning is martyrdom, drowning is martyrdom, death by plague is martyrdom, and death due to a stomach disease is martyrdom."

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِالزَّكاةِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ فَقَالَ «مَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهِيدَ فِيكُمْ؟» قَالُوا الَّذِي يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ «إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذَنْ لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ شَهَادَةٌ وَالطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالنُّفَسَاءُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْحَرْقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْغَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالسُّلُّ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْبَطْنُ شَهَادَةٌ»

[AI] 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»

[AI] He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are seven martyrs, apart from the one who is killed in the cause of Allah: the one who dies of plague is a martyr, the one who dies of a stomach disease is a martyr, the one who dies by drowning is a martyr, the one who dies by a collapsing building is a martyr, the one who dies by a side ailment is a martyr, the one who dies by being burned is a martyr, and a woman who dies due to childbirth is a martyr, meaning those who die as a result of labor pains."

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «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 بِجَمْعٍ شَهِيدٌ يَعْنِي النُّفَسَاءَ»

"إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَتَّى إِذَا لَقليلٌ - القَتْلُ في سبيلِ اللَّهِ شهادةٌ، والمطعونُ شَهَادَةٌ، والمرأَةُ تموتُ بِجُمْعٍ شهَادَةٌ، والغَرَقُ، وَالْحَرْقُ، والْمَجْنُوبُ شَهَادَةٌ".

"المطعونُ شهيدٌ، والمبطُونُ شَهيدٌ، والغريقُ شَهيدٌ، والهدمُ شَهِيدٌ, والمرأَة تموتُ بِجُمْع شهيدة، وذاتُ الجنْبِ شهيدٌ".

"مَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهِيدَ فِيكُمْ؟ ، قَالُوا: الَّذِي يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبيلِ الله، قَال: إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتي إِذَنْ لَقَلِيلُ (*) القَتْلُ فِي سَبيلِ الله شَهَادَة والطَّاعُونْ شهادَةٌ والنّفسَاءُ شَهَادَةٌ، والحرْقُ شَهادةٌ، والغَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ، والسُّلُ شَهادةٌ، والبَطن شَهَادَةٌ".

"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 تَعُدُّونَ الشهيدَ فيكم؟ ، قَالوا: مَنْ يُقْتَل (*) في سَبيل الله، قال: إِنَّ شهداء أمَّتِي لَقَلِيلٌ، القتلُ في سبيل الله شهادةٌ، والبَطنُ شهَادَةٌ، والغَرَقُ شهَادَةٌ، والطَّاعُون شَهَادَةٌ، والنُّفَساءُ شَهَادَةٌ".

"مَا تَعدُّونَ الشهداءَ فِيكم؟ ، قَالُوا: مَنْ يُقْتلُ في سبيلِ اللهِ، قال: إن شهداءَ أمَّتِي إِذَن لقليل، المقتولُ في سبيلِ الله شهيدٌ، والمرءُ يموتُ على فِراشه في سبيلِ الله شهيدٌ، والمبطونُ شهيدٌ واللديغُ شَهِيدٌ، والغريقُ شهيدٌ، والشّريقُ شَهِيدٌ، والَّذَى يَفْترسُه السَّبعُ شَهيدٌ، والخار عن دابته شهيد، وصاحب الهدم شهيد، وَصَاحبُ ذَات الجَنْب شَهِيدٌ والنَّفَسَاءُ يَقْتُلُها وَلَدُهَا يَجُرها بِسَرَرِهِ إِلَى الجنّة".

"وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهادَةَ إِلا مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَكُم إِذَنْ لَقَلِيلٌ، الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ الله شَهَادَةٌ، وَالْبَطْنُ شَهادَةٌ والحَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ، والغَرَقُ شهَادَةٌ، والمَغْمُومُ -يَعْنِي: الهَدْمَ- شَهَادَةٌ، والمجْنُوبُ شَهادَةٌ، والْمرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدَةٌ".
