"عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ المُسيِّبِ قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ عَلَى جَبَلٍ فَأَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى وَادٍ فَرَأَيْتُ شَابًا يَرْعَى غَنمًا لَهُ، أَعْجَبَنِى شَبَابُهُ، فَقُلتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: وَأَىُّ شَابٍّ؟ لَوْ كَانَ شَبَابُهُ فِى سَبيلِ اللَّه؟ ! فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ: يَا عُمَرُ: فَلَعَلَّهُ فِى بَعْضِ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَنْتَ لا تَعْلَمُ، ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا شَابُّ هَلْ لَكَ مَنْ تَعُولُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: مَنْ؟ قَالَ: أُمِّى، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ: الْزَمْهَا فَإِنَّ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهَا الْجَنَّةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ: لَئِنْ كَانَ الشَّهِيدُ لَيْسَ إِلَّا شَهِيدَ السَّيْفِ فَإِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِى إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ صَاحِبَ الحَرْقِ، والشَّرَقِ، والْهَدْمِ، والْمَبْطُونِ، والْغَرِيقِ، وَمَنْ أَكَلهُ السَّبُعُ، وَمَنْ سَعَى عَلَى نَفْسِه لِيُعِزَّهَا وَيُغِنيَهَا عَنِ النَّاسِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ".

"Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib said: 'Umar said: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a mountain, and we overlooked a valley, and I saw a young man tending his sheep, and his youth amazed me. I said: O Messenger of Allah, what a young man! If only his youth were in the way of Allah! The Prophet ﷺ said: O 'Umar, perhaps he is in some way of Allah and you do not know. Then the Prophet ﷺ called him and said: O young man, do you have anyone you support? He said: Yes. He said: Who? He said: My mother. The Prophet ﷺ said: Stay with her, for the Garden is at her feet. Then the Prophet ﷺ said: If the martyr were only the one slain by the sword, then the martyrs of my Ummah would be few. Then he mentioned the one who dies by burning, drowning, collapse, the one with a stomach ailment, the drowned, the one killed by a beast, and whoever strives for himself to keep himself dignified and independent of people, he is a martyr."
