Chapter on what is reported regarding the virtue of the sea and the martyr in it
Sunan Sa'id bin Mansur 3576 — on what is reported regarding the virtue
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ تَبِيعٍ، عَنْ كَعْبِ الْأَحْبَارِ، قَالَ: «إِذَا وَضَعَ الرَّجُلُ رِجْلَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ خَلَّفَ خَطَايَاهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ، وَالْمَائِدُ فِيهِ كَالْمُتَشَحِّطِ فِي دَمِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَالصَّابِرُ فِيهِ كَالْمَلِكِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ التَّاجُ»
Hazrat Ka'b al-Ahbar (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "When a person boards a boat, all his past sins are forgiven as if he were born from his mother's womb, and the one who drowns in the sea is like a martyr drenched in blood, and the one who is patient is as if he has a royal crown on his head."
