Chapter: What was narrated concerning one who dies in a strange land

´It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` Dying in a strange land is martyrdom.”

´It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said:` “A man died in Al- Madinah, and he was one of those who were born in Al-Madinah. The Prophet (ﷺ) offered the funeral prayer for him and said: “Would that he had died somewhere other than his birthplace.” A man among the people said: “Why, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “If a man dies somewhere other than his birthplace, a space will be measured for him in Paradise (as big as the distance) from the place where he was born to the place where he died.”
