Chapter 21 · Funerals (Kitab Al-Jana'iz)فِي فَضْلِ مَنْ مَاتَ فِي الطَّاعُونِ
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ، عَنْ عَتِيكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ وَهُوَ جَدُّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَبُو أُمِّهِ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ عَمَّهُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَتِيكٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ يَعُودُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ غُلِبَ، فَصَاحَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ، فَاسْتَرْجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: غُلِبْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الرَّبِيعِ، فَصَاحَ النِّسْوَةُ وَبَكَيْنَ، فَجَعَلَ ابْنُ عَتِيكٍ يُسَكِّتُهُنَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: دَعْهُنَّ، فَإِذَا وَجَبَ فَلَا تَبْكِيَنَّ بَاكِيَةٌ، قَالُوا: وَمَا الْوُجُوبُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ: الْمَوْتُ، قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ: وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ شَهِيدًا، فَإِنَّكَ كُنْتَ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ جِهَازَكَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَوْقَعَ أَجْرَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ نِيَّتِهِ، وَمَا تَعُدُّونَ الشَّهَادَةَ ؟ قَالُوا: الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ، سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ: الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ، وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرِيقِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالَّذِي يَمُوتُ تَحْتَ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيدٌ .

The Virtue Of One Who Dies Of The Plague
The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came to visit Abdullah Ibn Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ who was ill. He found that he was dominated (by the divine decree). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم called him loudly, but he did not respond. He uttered the Quranic verse We belong to Allah and to Him do we return and he said: We have been dominated against you, Abur Rabi. Then the women cried and wept, and Ibn Atik رضی اللہ عنہ began to silence them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Leave them, when the divine decree is made, no woman should weep. They (the people) asked: What is necessary happening, Messenger of Allah? He replied: Death. His daughter said: I hope you will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for jihad. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Allah Most High gave him a reward according to his intentions. What do you consider martyrdom? They said: Being killed in the cause of Allah. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There are seven types of martyrdom in addition to being killed in Allah's cause: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a martyr; who one is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr.
