حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الشَّهِيدِ فِيكُمْ " . قَالُوا الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ " .

It wasnarrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"What doyou say among yourselves about the martyr?" They said: "The onewho is killed in the cause of Allah." He said: "In that case themartyrs among my nation would be few. Whoever is killed in the causeof Allah is a martyr; whoever dies in the cause of Allah is a martyr;whoever dies of a stomach disease is a martyr; and whoever dies ofthe plague is a martyr."
