“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  

[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  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Being killed in the way of Allah is martyrdom, and dying due to a widespread disease is martyrdom, and death due to a stomach disease is martyrdom, and a woman being killed by her child is also martyrdom."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ شَهَادَةٌ وَالطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْبَطْنُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ يَقْتُلُهَا وَلَدُهَا جُمْعًا شَهَادَةٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who do you consider a martyr among you?" They said, "The one who is killed in the cause of Allah." He said, "Verily, the martyrs of my nation are few. The one who dies of a stomach disease is a martyr, the one who dies of a plague is a martyr, the pregnant woman who dies giving birth is a martyr."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهِيدَ فِيكُمْ؟» قَالُوا الَّذِي يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ «إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذَنْ لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْبَطْنُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالنُّفَسَاءُ شَهَادَةٌ»  

[Machine] 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»  

"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".  

"أتدرونَ من شُهداءُ أَمَّتى؟ قالوا: قتل المسلم شهادة، قال: إن

شهداء أمتى إِذًا لقليلٌ، قتلُ المسلِم شهادةٌ، والبطنُ شهادةٌ، والغرقُ شهادةٌ، والمرْأَةُ يقتُلُها ولدُها جُمْعًا شَهَادةٌ".  

"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".
