Hadith of ‘Ubadah ibn al-Samit (RA)

حديث عبادة بن الصامت

Hadith 1012:37

Surayj narrated to us, al-Mu‘afa narrated to us, Mughira ibn Ziyad narrated to us, from ‘Ubada ibn Nasi, from al-Aswad ibn Tha‘laba, from ‘Ubada ibn al-Samit, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to me while I was ill among some people of the Ansar who were visiting me. He said: "Do you know who the martyr is?" They remained silent. He said: "Do you know who the martyr is?" They remained silent. He said: "Do you know who the martyr is?" I said to my wife: "Support me," and she supported me. I said: "He who submits, then migrates, then is killed in the way of Allah, he is a martyr." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, the martyrs of my nation are few. Being killed in the way of Allah is martyrdom, death by a stomach ailment is martyrdom, drowning is martyrdom, and the woman who dies in childbirth is a martyr."

حدثنا سريج، حدثنا المعافى، حدثنا مغيرة بن زياد، عن عبادة بن نسي، عن الأسود بن ثعلبة، عن عبادة بن الصامت قال: أتاني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأنا مريض في ناس من الأنصار يعودوني فقال: " هل تدرون ما الشهيد؟ " فسكتوا. فقال: " هل تدرون ما الشهيد؟ " فسكتوا. قال: " هل تدرون ما الشهيد؟ " فقلت لامرأتي: أسنديني فأسندتني فقلت: من أسلم، ثم هاجر، ثم قتل في سبيل الله فهو شهيد. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن شهداء أمتي إذا لقليل القتل في سبيل الله شهادة، والبطن شهادة، والغرق شهادة، والنفساء شهادة "
