It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any desire (or determination) for Jihad, died the death of a hypocrite. 'Abdullah bin Mubarak said: We think the hadith pertained to the time of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . rted on the authority of Sahl bin Aba Umama bin Sahl bin Hunaif who learned the tradition from his father who (in turn) learned it from his grandfather-that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Who sought martyrdom with sincerity will be ranked by Allah among the martyrs even if he died on his bed. In his version of the tradition Abd Tahir did not mention the words:" with sincerity".
