3111. Jābir bin 'Atīk narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to visit 'Abdullāh bin Thābit, and found him unconscious. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called loudly to him, and he did not respond, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said "Innā Lillāhi wa innā ilaihi rāji'ūn (Verily, to Allāh we belong and unto Him is our return)," and he said: "The Divine Decree has overpowered us concerning you, O Abū Ar-Rabī'." The women screamed and wept, and Ibn 'Atīk started telling them to be quiet, but the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Let them be, for when he falls, no woman should weep." They said: "What does falling mean, O Messenger of Allāh?" He said:
"Death." His daughter said: "By Allāh, we were hoping that you would be a martyr, for you had just finished making preparations (for Jihād). The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, will give him his reward according to his intention. What do you regard as martyrdom?" They said: "Being killed in the cause of Allāh." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Martyrdom is seven things, besides being killed in the cause of Allāh. The one who dies of the plague is a martyr, the one who drowns is a martyr, the one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr, the one who dies of a stomach ailment is a martyr, the one who is burned to death is a martyr, the one who dies beneath a collapsed building is a martyr, and the woman who dies in pregnancy is a martyr." (Hasan)

3111 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ عَتِيكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، وَهُوَ جَدُّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَبُو أُمِّهِ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَمَّهُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَتِيكٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ، فَصَاحَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ، فَصَاحَ النِّسْوَةُ، وَبَكَيْنَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسَكِّتُهُنَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «دَعْهُنَّ، فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلَا تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ» قَالُوا: وَمَا الْوُجُوبُ؟ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «الْمَوْتُ» قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ: وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا، فَإِنَّكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ، وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ؟» قَالُوا: الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ: الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ، وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرِيقِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالَّذِي يَمُوتُ تَحْتَ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدٌ "
