Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: When a man is killed in your battles, you say about him that so-and-so has become a martyr, whereas it is possible that he had loaded gold and silver on the back of his animal or on the sides of his mount for the sake of trade. Therefore, do not say this statement of martyrdom about anyone. Yes, you may say what Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever is martyred in the way of Allah will go to Paradise.
