حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النُّكْرِيُّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ الْهُذَلِيُّ، أَنَّ أَبَا يَزِيدَ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يُخْبِرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
الشُّهَدَاءُ أَرْبَعَةٌ: رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَيِّدُ الْإِيمَانِ، لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَصَدَقَ اللهَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْيُنَهُمْ هَكَذَا، وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ قَلَنْسُوَتُهُ، فَلَا أَدْرِي قَلَنْسُوَةَ عُمَرَ أَمْ قَلَنْسُوَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَيِّدُ الْإِيمَانِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَكَأَنَّمَا يُضْرَبُ جِلْدُهُ بِشَوْكِ الطَّلْحِ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ، أَتَاهُ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ، فَقَتَلَهُ فَهُوَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ خَلَطَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا، لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَصَدَقَ اللهَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، فَذَلِكَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ أَسْرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَصَدَقَ اللهَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، فَذَلِكَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ

✧ The martyrs are four: A believing man of excellent faith who met the enemy and was true to God until he was killed—that is the one to whom people will raise their eyes on the Day of Resurrection, like this, and he raised his head until his cap fell; I do not know whether it was Umar's cap or the Prophet's ﷺ. And a believing man of excellent faith, such that when he met the enemy it was as if his skin was being struck with the thorns of the talh tree out of cowardice; a stray arrow came to him and killed him, and he is in the second rank. And a believing man who mixed a good deed with an evil one, met the enemy and was true to God until he was killed—that one is in the third rank. And a believing man who was immoderate against himself, met the enemy and was true to God until he was killed—that one is in the fourth rank.

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
هو عبد الله بن لهيعة بن عقبة نسبه إلى جده وإنما هو عن عطاء بن دينار عن أبي يزيد الخولاني أنه سمع فضالة عن عمر بن الخطاب عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو الصحيح
machine translationHe is ʿAbdullāh b. Lahīʿah b. ʿUqbah; he attributed him to his grandfather. Rather, it is from ʿAṭāʾ b. Dīnār, from Abū Yazīd al-Khawlānī, that he heard Faḍālah, from ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb, from the Prophet ﷺ, and this is the sound (ṣaḥīḥ) version.
