Hadith 1247
1247 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ وَجَدَ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ، فَأَخَّرَهُ فَشَكَرَ اللهُ لَهُ، فَغَفَرَ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: الشُّهَدَاءُ خَمْسَةٌ: الْمَطْعُونُ وَالْمَبْطُونُ وَالْغَرِيقُ وَصَاحِبُ الْهَدْمِ وَالشَّهِيدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ
Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man was going somewhere. On the way, he saw a branch full of thorns, so he removed it from the path. Allah Almighty (just because of this act) became pleased and forgave him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that martyrs are of five kinds: those who die in a plague, those who die of stomach ailments (such as cholera, etc.), those who drown, those who die by being crushed by a wall or any other thing, and those who are martyred in the way of Allah (while fighting in jihad).
