حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ، 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ خَلاَّدٍ وَهِيَ مُنْتَقِبَةٌ تَسْأَلُ عَنِ ابْنِهَا وَهُوَ مَقْتُولٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم جِئْتِ تَسْأَلِينَ عَنِ ابْنِكِ وَأَنْتِ مُنْتَقِبَةٌ فَقَالَتْ إِنْ أُرْزَإِ ابْنِي فَلَنْ أُرْزَأَ حَيَائِي . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم "ابْنُكِ لَهُ أَجْرُ شَهِيدَيْنِ " . قَالَتْ وَلِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " لأَنَّهُ قَتَلَهُ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ "
Translation
Narrated Thabit ibn Qays
A woman called Umm Khallad came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while she was veiled. She was asking about her son, and he was killed. Some of the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her: You have come asking about your son while you are veiled? She said: If I am deprived of my son, I shall not be deprived of my modesty. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Your son has the reward of two martyrs. She asked: Why is that, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Because the People of the Book killed him.
