حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ عَنْ عَتِيكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ وَهُوَ جَدُّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَبُو أُمِّهِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَمَّهُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَتِيكٍ أَخْبَرَهُ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ فَصَاحَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ فَصَاحَ النِّسْوَةُ وَبَكَيْنَ فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسْكِتُهُنَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَعْهُنَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلاَ تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ قَالُوا وَمَا الْوُجُوبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْمَوْتُ قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا فَإِنَّكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ قَالُوا الْقَتْلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرِيقِ شَهِيدٌ وَالَّذِي يَمُوتُ تَحْتَ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدٌ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit who was ill. He found that he was dominated (by the divine decree). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him loudly, but he did not respond. He uttered the Qur'anic verse "We belong to Allah and to Him do we return" and he said: We have been dominated against you, AburRabi'. Then the women cried and wept, and Ibn Atik began to silence them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Leave them, when the divine decree is made, no woman should weep. They (the people) asked: What is necessary happening, Messenger of Allah? He replied: Death. His daughter said: I hope you will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for jihad. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah Most High gave him a reward according to his intentions. What do you consider martyrdom? They said: Being killed in the cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There are seven types of martyrdom in addition to being killed in Allah's cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a martyr; who one is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr.

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
رواه جماعة الرواة عن مالك فيما علمت لم يختلفوا في إسناده ومتنه وقال غيره صحيح من مسند حديث مالك
machine translationA group of narrators related it from Mālik, as far as I know, and they did not differ concerning its chain or its text. Someone else said: It is sound (ṣaḥīḥ), from the musnad hadiths of Mālik.

يرويه مالك بن أنس واختلف عنه فرواه إسحاق بن سليمان الرازي عن مالك عن الزهري عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله عن جابر بن عتيك عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ووهم فيه وهما قبيحا لأنه ليس من حديث الزهري وإنما رواه مالك عن عبد الله بن عبد الله أبو أمه عن جابر بن عتيك كذلك رواه أصحاب الموطأ وغيرهم عن مالك إلا أن القعنبي لم يقم إسناده ورواه الواقدي عن مالك عن عبد الله بن جابر بن عتيك عن خاله عن أبيه عن جده ولا أدري ما أراد بهذا ورواه أبو عميس عن عبد الله بن عبد الله بن جبر بن عتيك ولم يقل ابن جابر وقال عن أبيه عن جده ورواه كثير بن زيد عن عبد الملك بن جابر بن عتيك عن عمه يريد جبر بن عتيك ورواه عبد الله بن عيسى بن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى فقال عن جبر بن عتيك عن عمه ورواه الدراوردي عن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن عن أيوب بن بشير مرسلا عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورواه حماد بن زيد عن يحيى بن سعيد عن أيوب بن بشير مرسلا أيضا وروي عن الزهري عن سالم عن أبيه قاله سليمان بن أرقم وهو متروك الحديث عن الزهري ورواه عبد الملك بن عمير واختلف عنه فرواه أبو عوانة عن عبد الملك عن رجل من الأنصار لم يسمه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورواه جرير بن عبد الحميد عن جبر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولم يتابع مالكا أحد على قوله جابر بن عتيك والله أعلم وهو مما يعتد به على مالك
machine translationMālik b. Anas narrates it, and there are differences about it from him. Isḥāq b. Sulaymān al-Rāzī narrated it from Mālik, from al-Zuhrī, from ʿUbayd Allāh b. ʿAbd Allāh, from Jābir b. ʿAtīk, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he made a gross error in it, because it is not from the hadith of al-Zuhrī. Rather, Mālik narrated it from ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd Allāh, the maternal grandfather of his mother, from Jābir b. ʿAtīk. So the compilers of the Muwaṭṭaʾ and others narrated it from Mālik, except that al-Qaʿnabī did not set its chain right. Al-Wāqidī narrated it from Mālik, from ʿAbd Allāh b. Jābir b. ʿAtīk, from his maternal uncle, from his father, from his grandfather, and I do not know what he meant by this. Abū ʿUmays narrated it from ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd Allāh b. Jabr b. ʿAtīk, and he did not say 'son of Jābir', and said: from his father, from his grandfather. Kathīr b. Zayd narrated it from ʿAbd al-Malik b. Jābir b. ʿAtīk, from his paternal uncle, meaning Jabr b. ʿAtīk. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿĪsā b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Laylā narrated it and said: from Jabr b. ʿAtīk, from his uncle. Al-Darāwardī narrated it from ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from Ayyūb b. Bashīr, as a mursal report from the Prophet ﷺ. Ḥammād b. Zayd narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from Ayyūb b. Bashīr, also as mursal. It was also narrated from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from his father; this was said by Sulaymān b. Arqam, who is abandoned in hadith (matrūk al-ḥadīth) when narrating from al-Zuhrī. ʿAbd al-Malik b. ʿUmayr narrated it, and there are differences about it from him. Abū ʿAwānah narrated it from ʿAbd al-Malik, from a man of the Anṣār whom he did not name, from the Prophet ﷺ. Jarīr b. ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd narrated it from Jabr, from the Prophet ﷺ. No one corroborated Mālik in his saying 'Jābir b. ʿAtīk', and God knows best. It is among the things held against Mālik.
