2488. 'Abdul-Khabīr bin Thābit bin Qais bin Shammās reported from his father, from his grandfather, who said: "A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ, she was called Umm Khallād, and she had her face covered, she asked about her son who had been killed in a battle. Some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ said: 'You came to ask about your son while you have your face covered?' She said: 'While I am afflicted by the loss of my son, I will never suffer the loss of my modesty.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Your son has the reward of two martyrs.' She said: 'And why is that O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'Because he has been killed by the People of Book.'" (Da'if)

2488 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ فَرَجِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْخَبِيرِ بْنِ ثَابِتِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ خَلَّادٍ وَهِيَ مُنْتَقِبَةٌ، تَسْأَلُ عَنِ ابْنِهَا، وَهُوَ مَقْتُولٌ، فَقَالَ لَهَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: جِئْتِ تَسْأَلِينَ عَنِ ابْنِكِ وَأَنْتِ مُنْتَقِبَةٌ؟ فَقَالَتْ: إِنْ أُرْزَأَ ابْنِي فَلَنْ أُرْزَأَ حَيَائِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ابْنُكِ لَهُ أَجْرُ شَهِيدَيْنِ»، قَالَتْ: وَلِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «لِأَنَّهُ قَتَلَهُ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ»
