Muwatta Malik, 555

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir ibn Atik that Atik ibn al-Harith, the grandfather of Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir on his mother's side, told him that Jabir ibn Atik had told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit and found him in his death-throes. He called to him but he did not reply. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "We belong to Allah, and to Him we are returning," and added, "You are being taken from us, Abur-Rabi`." The women cried out and wept, and Jabir began to silence them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Leave them, and when the necessary time comes, none of the women should cry." They said, "Messenger of Allah, what is the necessary time?" and he replied, "When he dies." The dying man's daughter said, "By Allah, I hope that you will be a martyr, for you have completed your preparations for battle," and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah has made his reward fall according to his intention. What do you consider dying a martyr to be?" They said, "Death in the way of Allah." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There are seven kinds of martyr other than those killed in the way of Allah. Someone who is killed by the plague is a martyr, someone who drowns is a martyr, someone who dies of pleurisy is a martyr, someone who dies of a disease of the belly is a martyr, someone who dies by fire is a martyr, someone who dies under a falling building is a martyr and a woman who dies in childbirth is a martyr

Jaber Ibn Atik a rapporté: «l'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) vint rendre visite à Abdallah Ibn Thabet et le trouva évanoui sous l'effet de la douleur. Il l'appela, mais en vain. Alors l'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) dit: «Nous sommes à Allah, et c'est vers Lui que sera le retour», puis il ajouta: «Ô Abou Al-Rabi'! Nous ne pouvons rien pour toi». Comme les femmes commencèrent à crier et à pleurer, Jaber essaya de les faire taire, mais l'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) lui dit «Laisse-les; quand il rend l'âme, qu'aucune pleureuse ne le pleure» sa fille dit: «Comme j'ai souhaité te voir tomber en martyr après que tu aies terminé tes préparatifs». L'Envoyé d'Allah (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) dit: «Allah lui rétribuera la récompense selon son intention». Puis il s'adressa aux gens et dit: «Qui est le martyr à votre avis»? Ils lui répondirent: « Celui qui meurt en combattant dans la voie d'Allah». Il répliqua: «Les martyrs sont au nombre de sept à part celui qui lutte dans la voie d'Allah, sont des martyrs: ceux qui meurent par la peste, dans une noyade, de pleurésie, de colique, par le feu, par l'éboulement, et la femme qui accouche(et meurt dans l'accouchement)»
