حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ

إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَقُولُوا: مَاتَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا، أَوْ قُتِلَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُقَاتِلُ لِيَغْنَمَ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُذْكَرَ، وَيُقَاتِلُ لِيُرَى مَكَانُهُ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ شَاهِدِينَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَاشْهَدُوا لِلرَّهْطِ الَّذِينَ بَعَثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَقُتِلُوا فَقَالُوا: اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ نَبِيَّنَا ﷺ عَنَّا أَنَّا قَدْ لَقِينَاكَ فَرَضِينَا عَنْكَ، وَرَضِيتَ عَنَّا.

✧ Beware of saying: 'So-and-so died as a martyr' or 'So-and-so was killed as a martyr.' Indeed, a man may fight for booty, fight to be remembered, or fight to show his standing. If you must testify, then testify for the group whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent on an expedition and who were killed. They said: 'O Allah, convey to our Prophet ﷺ on our behalf that we have met You and we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us.'
