The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah! The martyr is only the one who is killed in the path of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Aishah! If that were so, the martyrs of my Ummah would be very few. Whoever recites this supplication twenty-five times in a day: 'Allahumma barik fil-mawti wa fima ba'd al-mawt' (O Allah, grant blessing in death and in what comes after death), and then dies on his bed, Allah Almighty will give him the reward of a martyr."
