ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Yūsuf al-Jubayrī narrated to us: Qays ibn Muḥammad al-Kindī narrated to us: ʿUfayr ibn Maʿdān al-Shāmī narrated to us, from Sulaym ibn ʿĀmir, who said: I heard Abū Umāmah say: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “The martyr at sea is like two martyrs on land. One tossed about at sea is like one drenched in his blood on land. The distance between two waves is like one who traverses the world in obedience to God. God, Mighty and Majestic, has assigned the Angel of Death to take souls, except for the martyr at sea, whose souls He takes Himself. He forgives the martyr on land all sins except debt, and the martyr at sea sins and debt.”
