Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ الشُّهَدَاءُ خَمْسَةٌ الْمَطْعُونُ، وَالْمَبْطُونُ، وَالْغَرِقُ وَصَاحِبُ الْهَدْمِ، وَالشَّهِيدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allah ibn Yusuf informed us; Malik informed us, from Sumayy, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah said: “There are five types of martyrs: one who dies of plague, one with an abdominal illness, one who drowns, one who dies beneath a collapsed structure, and one who is martyred in Allah’s cause.”

Translation notes

  • The Arabic refers to a person killed by a collapse; expressed as dying beneath a collapsed structure.
