When martyrdom is hoped for

Show the chain

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْعُمَيْسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّهُ مَرِضَ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ إِنْ كُنَّا لَنَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ وَفَاتُهُ قَتْلَ شَهَادَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَطْعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهَادَةٌ يَعْنِي الْحَامِلَ وَالْغَرِقُ وَالْحَرِقُ وَالْمَجْنُوبُ يَعْنِي ذَاتَ الْجَنْبِ شَهَادَةٌ

“We hoped that when he died it would be as a martyr in the cause of Allah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “In that case the martyrs of my nation would be few. Being killed in the cause of Allah is martyrdom; dying of the plague is martyrdom; when a pregnant woman dies in childbirth that is martyrdom; and dying of drowning, or burning, or of pleurisy, is martyrdom.”

  • Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī

    الصواب زيادة عن جده بعد قوله عن أبيه

    in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2897
  • Dāraquṭnī

    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.
