Hadith 4915

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَمَّا مَاتَ قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا أَمَا إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ قَالُوا قَتْلٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِيقُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرْقِ شَهِيدٌ وَالَّذِي يَمُوتُ تَحْتَ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدَةٌ
It is narrated from Jabir bin Atik that when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was about to pass away, one of his daughters said: By Allah! I had hoped that you would be martyred; in any case, you had made your preparations. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah the Exalted has granted him the reward according to his intention. And tell me, what do you people consider as martyrdom? The people said: Being killed in the way of Allah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Besides being killed in the way of Allah, there are seven other types of martyrdom: The one who dies in a plague is a martyr, the one who drowns is a martyr, the one who dies due to internal abscesses (such as cancer, tumors, etc.) is a martyr, the one who dies from a stomach disease is a martyr, the one who dies by burning is a martyr, the one who dies under a collapsed wall is a martyr, and the woman who dies due to pregnancy is a martyr.
