حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءَ بْنَ دِينَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الْخَوْلانِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ يَقُولُسَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
الشُّهَدَاءُ ثَلَاثَةٌ؛ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَيِّدُ الْإِيمَانِ لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ، فَصَدَقَ اللهَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَرْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ - وَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ قَلَنْسُوَتُهُ، أَوْ قَلَنْسُوَةُ عُمَرَ - وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَيِّدُ الْإِيمَانِ لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ، فَكَأَنَّمَا يُضْرَبُ جِلْدُهُ بِشَوْكِ الطَّلْحِ، أَتَاهُ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَقَتَلَهُ، هُوَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ، وَرَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ جَيِّدُ الْإِيمَانِ خَلَطَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا، لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ، فَصَدَقَ اللهَ حَتَّى قُتِلَ، فَذَلِكَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ

✧ The martyrs are three: a believing man of excellent faith who meets the enemy and is true to God until he is killed—that is the one to whom people will raise their necks on the Day of Resurrection (and the Messenger of God ﷺ raised his head until his cap fell, or ʿUmar’s cap)—and a believing man of excellent faith who meets the enemy and it is as if his skin is struck with the thorns of the ṭalḥ tree; a stray arrow comes to him and kills him—he is in the second degree—and a believing man of excellent faith who mixes a righteous deed with an evil one; he meets the enemy and is true to God until he is killed—that one is in the third degree.

- 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.
