Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī al-Shawārib narrated to us: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn al-Mukhtār narrated to us: Suhayl narrated to us, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “What do you say about the martyr among you?” They replied: “One killed in the path of God.” He said: “Then the martyrs of my community would be few. Whoever is killed in the path of God is a martyr, whoever dies in the path of God is a martyr, one who dies of an abdominal illness is a martyr, and one who dies of plague is a martyr.” Suhayl said: ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Miqsam informed me, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, adding: “And one who drowns is a martyr.”
