حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، قَالَ:
دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَوِ اسْتَطَاعُوا أَنْ يُدْخِلُوهُ بُطُونَهُمْ لَأَدْخَلُوهُ ; مِنْ حُبِّهِمْ إِيَّاهُ، وَإِذَا هُوَ يُحَدِّثُ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: لَا تُكْثِرُوا الشَّهَادَةَ، قُتِلَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا، وَقُتِلَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا، فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا بُدَّ مُثْنِينَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَنَّهُمُ اسْتُشْهِدُوا، فَأَثْنُوا عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ بَعَثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى حَيٍّ، فَلَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا يَسِيرًا حَتَّى قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَلَا إِنَّ إِخْوَانَكُمْ قَدْ لَقُوا رَبَّهُمْ، أَلَا وَإِنَّهُمْ سَأَلُوا اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ عَنْهُمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ رَضُوا وَرَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ، فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُثْنِينَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ أَنَّهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ فَأَثْنُوا عَلَى أُولَئِكَ

Chain of narrators

✧ I entered the mosque of Kufa on Friday, and there was a man whom the people had gathered around. If they could have put him inside their bellies, they would have, out of love for him. And there he was, narrating. He said: 'Abdullah said: Do not multiply testimony, saying "So-and-so was killed as a martyr, and so-and-so was killed as a martyr." If you must praise a people as having been martyred, then praise the expedition that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to a tribe. They did not remain but a short while before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us and said: "Indeed, your brothers have met their Lord. Indeed, they asked Allah, mighty and glorious, to convey on their behalf that they were pleased, and He was pleased with them. So if you are to praise a people as martyrs, then praise those."
