Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ ضَمْضَمِ بْنِ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدٍ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَأْتِي الشُّهَدَاءُ وَالْمُتَوَفَّوْنَ بِالطَّاعُونِ فَيَقُولُ أَصْحَابُ الطَّاعُونِ نَحْنُ شُهَدَاءُ فَيُقَالُ انْظُرُوا فَإِنْ كَانَتْ جِرَاحُهُمْ كَجِرَاحِ الشُّهَدَاءِ تَسِيلُ دَمًا رِيحَ الْمِسْكِ فَهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ فَيَجِدُونَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Al-Hakam ibn Nafi' narrated to us, he said: Isma'il ibn Ayyash narrated to us, from Damdam ibn Zur'a, from Shurayh ibn Ubayd, from Utbah ibn Abd al-Sulami, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: 'The martyrs and those who died of the plague will come, and the victims of the plague will say: We are martyrs. It will be said: Look - if their wounds are like the wounds of the martyrs, flowing with blood with the scent of musk, then they are martyrs. And they will find them to be so.'
