The Martyr in Islam
Sahl b. Hunaif reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "If anyone asks Allah for martyrdom sincerely, Allah will make him reach the ranks of martyrs even if he died on his bed."
[Sahih Muslim 1909 wording here from Sunan Abi Dawud 1520, Graded: Sahih (Al-Albani)]
Narrated by Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Five are regarded as martyrs: They are those who die because of plague, Abdominal disease, drowning or a falling building (being crushed) etc., and the martyrs in Allah's Cause."
[Sahih al-Bukhari 2829]
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar رحمه الله said:
Ibn al-Teen said: All of these are deaths which involve hardship. Allah has bestowed His grace upon the ummah of our Dear Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) by making them means of erasing their sins and increasing their rewards, and enabling them to attain the status of martyrdom.
[Fath al-Baari, 6/44]
As-Suyooti رحمه الله said:
Al-Qurtubi said: This and the previous one -- i.e., those who are killed by a falling wall or drowning -- if they did not take risks and did not fail to take precautions, (then they are martyrs). But if they did not take precautions and died as a result of that, then they are sinners.
[Al-Deebaaj ‘ala Muslim 4/508]
