حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ الشَّهَادَةَ صَادِقًا بَلَّغَهُ اللَّهُ مَنَازِلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَإِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ " .
Suhail bin Hunaif reported on the authority of his father: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If anyone asks Allah for martyrdom sincerely, Allah make him reach the ranks of martyrs though he may die on his bed.

Nasai — Hadith 3164
´Sahl bin Abi Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` "Whoever asks Allah, the mighty and Sublime, sincerely for martyrdom, Allah will cause him to reach the status of the martyrs even of he dies in his bed."
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
“With a sincere heart”—not merely as a rhetorical display, as is commonly practiced. ➋ “Will ask for martyrdom”—this is not a supplication for death itself, but rather a supplication for a good death, whenever it may come. And this is recommended (mustahabb).

Muslim — Hadith 4930
It has been reported on the authority of Sahl bin Aba Umama bin Sahl bin Hunaif who learned the tradition from his father who (in turn) learned it from his grandfather-that the Messenger of Allah (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".
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: To have a good intention and to sincerely desire and long for a certain deed from the depths of one’s heart is such a pure act that Allah, the Exalted, out of His grace and mercy, grants a reward and recompense for it even without the actual performance of the deed. May Allah, the Exalted, grant us the ability to have sincerity of intention.

Tirmidhi — Hadith 1653
It is narrated from Sahl bin Hunaif (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever sincerely asks Allah for martyrdom, Allah will grant him the rank of the martyrs even if he dies on his bed." 1. © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- The hadith of Sahl bin Hunaif is Hasan Gharib; we know it only from the narration of Abdur Rahman bin Shuraih. This hadith has also been narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Shuraih by Abdullah bin Salih. The kunyah of Abdur Rahman bin Shuraih is Abu Shuraih, and he is an Iskandarani (resident of Alexandria).
2- In this chapter, there is also a narration from Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him).
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
That is, even if he does not die as a martyr, he will still be counted among the martyrs and will receive the reward of the martyrs. It is as if, due to sincerely supplicating for martyrdom, he attained this rank.
Believers should continuously supplicate for martyrdom in the path of Allah.
