Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Whom do you consider to be a martyr?" The people replied: "One who is killed in the way of Allah (is a martyr)." He said: "Then very few in my Ummah would be martyrs!" (Then the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "No, it is not so, rather) one who is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr, one who dies in the way of Allah is also a martyr, one who dies of a stomach disease is a martyr, and one who dies of plague is a martyr." Suhail says: 'Ubaidullah bin Maqsim informed me, who narrates from Abu Salih, that in it there is an additional wording: "And one who drowns and dies is also a martyr."
