قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ يَعُودُهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ الشَّهِيدُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ عُبَادَةُ سَانِدُونِي فَأَسْنَدُوهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الصَّابِرُ الْمُحْتَسِبُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ شُهَدَاءَ أُمَّتِي إِذًا لَقَلِيلٌ الْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شَهَادَةٌ وَالطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْغَرَقُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالْبَطْنُ شَهَادَةٌ وَالنُّفَسَاءُ يَجُرُّهَا وَلَدُهَا بِسُرَرِهِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ وَزَادَ فِيهَا أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ سَادِنُ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَالْحَرْقُ وَالسَّيْلُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ صَاحِبٍ لَهُ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ يَعُودُهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ.
English Translation
Muhammad b. Bakr narrated to us: Sa'id b. Abi Arubah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Muslim b. Yasar, from Abu al-Ash'ath al-San'ani, from Rashid b. Hubaysh, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, visited Ubadah b. al-Samit to check on him during his illness, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Do you know who is a martyr among my nation?" The people fell silent. Ubadah said, "Support me," so they supported him, and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, the one who is patient and expects reward." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Then the martyrs of my nation would be few indeed. Being killed in the path of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is martyrdom; death from plague is martyrdom; drowning is martyrdom; death from an abdominal ailment is martyrdom; and a woman who dies in childbirth is dragged to Paradise by her child by its umbilical cord." He said: And Abu al-Awwam, custodian of Bayt al-Maqdis, added to it: "and death by burning and by flood." Abd al-Samad narrated to us: Hammam narrated to us: Qatadah narrated to us, from a companion of his, from Rashid b. Hubaysh, from Ubadah b. al-Samit, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came to visit him during his illness, and he related the hadith.
