Musnad Ahmad 22685

Translation

✧ The Prophet ﷺ said: "How do you count the martyr among you?" They said: "The one who fights and is killed in the cause of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, the martyrs of my Ummah are few. The one killed in the cause of Allah is a martyr, the one who dies of the plague is a martyr, the one who dies of a stomach illness is a martyr, and a woman who dies due to childbirth is a martyr."
