Chapter: When martyrdom is hoped for

باب مَا يُرْجَى فِيهِ الشَّهَادَةُ
Sunan Ibn Majah 2804
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“What do
you say among yourselves about the martyr?” They said: “The one
who is killed in the cause of Allah.” He said: “In that case the
martyrs among my nation would be few. Whoever is killed in the cause
of Allah is a martyr; whoever dies in the cause of Allah is a martyr;
whoever dies of a stomach disease is a martyr; and whoever dies of
the plague is a martyr.”
Another chain narrates with the addition of "and the drowned is a martyr."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الشَّهِيدِ فِيكُمْ " . قَالُوا الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ " .
قَالَ سُهَيْلٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، وَزَادَ، فِيهِ " وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ " .
