Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ المُقْرِئُ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَجْفَاءَ قَالَ خَطَبَ عُمَرُ ؓ النَّاسَ قَالَ وَأُخْرَى تَقُولُونَهَا لِمَنْ قُتِلَ فِي مَغَازِيكُمْ هَذِهِ قُتِلَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا وَمَاتَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا وَلَعَلَّهُ يَكُ��نُ قَدْ أَوْقَرَ دَفَّتَيْ رَاحِلَتِهِ ذَهَبًا أَوْ وَرِقًا يَبْتَغِي الدُّنْيَا أَوْ قَالَ التِّجَارَةَ فَلَا تَقُولُوا ذَلِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ مَاتَ فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ
English Translation
Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad al-Muqri' informed us, from al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Yusuf ibn Ya'qub, from Sulayman ibn Harb, from Hammad ibn Zayd, from Ayyub, from Muhammad — meaning Ibn Sirin — from Abu al-Ajfa' who said: Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed the people and said: And another thing you say about those killed in your battles — so-and-so was killed as a martyr, and so-and-so died as a martyr — while perhaps he may have loaded both sides of his camel with gold or silver seeking worldly gain, or he said: trade. So do not say that, but say as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Whoever is killed in the cause of Allah or dies, he is in Paradise.
