حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْبَاطِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سِنَانٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ صُرَدٍ لِخَالِدِ بْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ أَوْ خَالِدٌ لِسُلَيْمَانَ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " مَنْ قَتَلَهُ بَطْنُهُ لَمْ يُعَذَّبْ فِي قَبْرِهِ " . فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ نَعَمْ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ .

Ubayd ibn Asbat ibn Muhammad al-Qurashi al-Kufi narrated to us: My father narrated to us: Abu Sinan al-Shaybani narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq al-Sabi'i, who said: Sulayman ibn Surad said to Khalid ibn Urfutah—or Khalid said to Sulayman—'Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever dies of an abdominal illness will not be punished in his grave?' One of them replied to the other, 'Yes.' Abu Isa said: This is a hasan gharīb hadith on this topic, and it has been narrated through another route.

قَالَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ صُرَدٍ لِخَالِدِ بْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ أَوْ خَالِدٌ لِسُلَيْمَانَ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " مَنْ قَتَلَهُ بَطْنُهُ لَمْ يُعَذَّبْ فِي قَبْرِهِ " .
The Arabic literally says that his stomach killed him, a compact expression whose scope is not further specified.
Does 'dies of an abdominal illness' convey the idiom without suggesting a particular medical diagnosis?
