5533. It was narrated that Abû Al-Yasar said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to say: 'Allâhumma innî a'ûdhu bika minat-taraddî, wal-hadmi, wal-gharaqi, wal-harîqi, wa a'ûdhu bika, an yatakhabbatanîsh-shaitânu 'indal-mawti, wa a'ûdhu bika an amûta fi sabîlika mudbiran, wa a'ûdhu bika an amûta ladigha (O Allâh, I seek refuge with You from being thrown from a high place or crushed beneath a falling wall, or drowning or being burned, and I seek refuge with You from being led astray by the Shaitân at the time of death, and I seek refuge with You from dying in Your cause while fleeing from the battlefield, and I seek refuge with You from dying of a scorpion sting.)'" (Hasan)

Commentary
1. The majority of these are accidental deaths in which men die all of a sudden. They do not even find the opportunity to utter the formula of the Oneness of Allâh. These types of deaths, therefore, are not good.
2. Fleeing or running away from the battleground is a major sin. Death in that condition is a sinful death.
