Chapter: The virtue of Jihad in the cause of Allah

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏”‏ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الشَّهِيدِ فِيكُمْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُهَيْلٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، وَزَادَ، فِيهِ ‏”‏ وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “What do
you say among yourselves about the martyr?” They said: “The one
who is killed in the cause of Allah.” He said: “In that case the
martyrs among my nation would be few. Whoever is killed in the cause
of Allah is a martyr; whoever dies in the cause of Allah is a martyr;
whoever dies of a stomach disease is a martyr; and whoever dies of
the plague is a martyr.” Another chain narrates with the addition of “and the drowned is a martyr.”
