(الْمَوْتُ فِي السَّفَرِ مَوْتَةُ شَهَادَةٍ)
(Dying during travel is a martyr’s death)
Hadith 1594
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَوْتُ غُرْبَةٍ شَهَادَةٌ» . رَوَاهُ ابْن مَاجَه
Ibn ‘Abbas reported God’s messenger as saying, “Dying abroad is treated as martyrdom." Ibn Majah transmitted it.
