📖Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1421
Narrated Zaid: that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: “Whoever is killed over his wealth then he is a martyr, and whoever is killed over his religion, then he is a martyr, and whoever is killed over his blood, then he is martyr, and whoever is killed over his family, then he is martyr.”
This hadith is a narration from Zaid, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and it describes different types of martyrdom.
- The first type of martyrdom mentioned in the hadith is the one who is killed defending his wealth. This could refer to someone who is attacked and killed while trying to protect their property from theft or robbery. According to the hadith, such a person is considered a martyr.
- The second type of martyrdom mentioned is for someone who is killed defending their religion. This could refer to someone who is persecuted or attacked because of their faith or their efforts to spread the message of Islam. According to the hadith, this person is also considered a martyr.
- The third type of martyrdom is for someone who is killed defending their own life or the lives of others. This could refer to someone who is defending themselves or others from an attacker, or someone who is working to protect the innocent from harm. Again, according to the hadith, this person is considered a martyr.
- The fourth type of martyrdom mentioned in the hadith is for someone who is killed defending their family. This could refer to someone who is trying to protect their loved ones from harm or danger. According to the hadith, this person is also considered a martyr.
Overall, this hadith emphasizes the importance of defending oneself, one’s property, one’s faith, one’s life, and one’s loved ones, and highlights the value and honor of martyrdom in Islam.
