Comprehensive Chapter on Martyrs and Their Types Other Than the Mujahideen in the Path of Allah the Exalted
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 4899 — Comprehensive Chapter on Martyrs
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أُرِيدَ مَالُهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ فَقُتِلَ دُونَهُ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever intends to take someone’s wealth without right, and he is killed while protecting it, then he is a martyr.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The intended meaning is that whoever is killed unjustly—whether while defending his own life, or while defending his wealth, or while defending his honor, or while defending his family, or while defending his religion—he is a martyr (shaheed), that is, he will be forgiven, he will be among the people of Paradise. However, it is an absolute condition that he must be a believer (mu’min).
