Sunan an-Nasa'i 3194

Ahmad ibn Sulayman reported to us; he said: Ja'far ibn Awn narrated to us, from Abu Umays, from Abd Allah ibn Abd Allah ibn Jabr, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) visited Jabr. When he entered, he heard women weeping and saying, ‘We thought your death was a killing in Allah’s cause.’ He said: ‘What do you count as martyrdom? Only one who is killed in Allah’s cause? In that case, your martyrs would be few. Being killed in Allah’s cause is martyrdom; abdominal illness is martyrdom; burning is martyrdom; drowning is martyrdom; being crushed—meaning, by a collapse—is martyrdom; pleurisy is martyrdom; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr.’ A man said, ‘Are you weeping while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is sitting here?’ He said: ‘Leave them. When it has come to pass, let no woman weep over him.’
