1653. Sahl bin Abī Umāmah bin Sahl bin Ḥunaif narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever asks Allāh for martyrdom sincerely from his heart, Allāh will grant the status of martyrdom for him, even if he were to die in his bed." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Gharīb as a narration of Sahl bin Ḥunaif. We do not know of it except from the report of 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Shurāih. 'Abdullāh bin Šaliḥ reported it from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Shurāih, and 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Shurāih's Kunyah is Abū Shurāih, and he is from Iskandarānī. There is something on this topic from Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal.

١٦٥٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ‌سَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ سَأَلَ اللهَ الشَّهَادَةَ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ صَادِقًا بَلَّغَهُ اللهُ مَنَازِلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ،» وَإِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ حَدِيثُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ يُكْنَى أَبَا شُرَيْحٍ، وَهُوَ إِسْكَنْدَرَانِيٌّ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ.
