Hadith 4909

عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ فِي نَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَعُودُونِي فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الشَّهِيدُ فَسَكَتُوا فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الشَّهِيدُ فَسَكَتُوا قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الشَّهِيدُ فَقُلْتُ لِامْرَأَتِي أَسْنِدِينِي فَأَسْنَدَتْنِي فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ هَاجَرَ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْبَطْنُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْغَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالنُّفَسَاءُ شَهَادَةٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was ill and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me along with some Ansari people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know who is a martyr (shaheed)? They remained silent in response. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know who is a martyr? They remained silent this time as well. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: I am asking, do you know who is a martyr? I said to my wife: Support me. So she supported me, then I said: Yes, the one who accepted Islam, then migrated, and then was killed in the way of Allah, he is a martyr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then the number of martyrs in my Ummah will be very few. Rather, being killed in the way of Allah is martyrdom, dying due to a stomach illness is martyrdom, drowning is martyrdom, and dying in the state of postnatal bleeding is also martyrdom.
