Martyrdom without Fighting

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whom do you reckon to be martyr amongst you?" The Companions replied: "The one who is killed in Allah's way." He said, "In that case, the martyrs among my people would be few." The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Then who are the martyrs?" He replied, "He who is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr; he who dies naturally in the Cause of Allah is a martyr; he who dies of plague is a martyr; and he who dies of a belly disease is a martyr; and he who is drowned is a martyr."

[Muslim].

This Hadith shows the care Allah has for this Ummah, which is the best Ummah of mankind. (Editor's Note)

وعنه قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ : "ما تعدون الشهداء فيكم؟ قالوا: يا رسول الله من قتل في سبيل الله فهو شهيد. قال: "إن شهداء أمتي إذًا لقليل!" قالوا: فمن يا رسول الله ؟ قال: "من قتل في سبيل الله فهو شهيد، ومن مات في سبيل الله فهو شهيد، ومن مات في الطاعون فهو شهيد، ومن مات في البطن فهو شهيد، والغريق شهيد" ((رواه مسلم)).

'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He who is killed while defending his property is a martyr."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص، رضي الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: “من قتل دون ماله فهو شهيد" ((متفق عليه))

Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail (May Allah be pleased with him) reported, one of the ten Companions who were given the glad tidings of entering Jannah reported:
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "He who dies while defending his property is a martyr; he who dies in defence of his own life is a martyr; and he who dies on defense of his faith is a martyr, he who dies in defence of his family is a martyr."

[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi].

وعن أبي الأعور سعيد بن زيد بن عمرو بن نفيل، أحد العشرة المشهود لهم بالجنة، رضي الله عنهم، قال: سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: "من قتل دون ماله فهو شهيد، ومن قتل دون دمه فهو شهيد، ومن قتل دون دينه فهو شهيد، ومن قتل دون عرضه فهو شهيد" ((رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال: حديث حسن صحيح)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What shall I do if someone comes to me with the intention of taking away my property?" He replied, "Do not hand over it to him." The man asked, "What shall I do if he fights me?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then fight him." "What will be my position in the Hereafter if he has killed me?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "In that case you are a martyr." The man asked: "What if I killed him?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "He will be in the Hell- fire."

[Muslim].

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: جاء رجل إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقال: يا رسول الله أرأيت إن جاء رجل يريد أخذ مالي؟ قال: "فلا تعطه مالك" قال: أرأيت إن قاتلني؟ قال: "قاتله" قال: أرأيت إن قتلني قال: "فأنت شهيد" قال: أرأيت إن قتلته؟ قال: "هو في النار" ((رواه مسلم)).
