Hadith 3722
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، قَالَ: نا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا قُعُودًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: قُتِلَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: «وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا؟ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ غَضَبًا، وَيُقَاتِلُ حَمِيَّةً، وَيُقَاتِلُ رِئَاءً، إِنَّمَا الشَّهِيدُ مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا»
We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) when someone said: "So-and-so has been martyred." He replied: "How do you know he is a martyr? A person may fight out of anger, tribalism, or for show. The true martyr is the one who fights to raise the word of Allah."
