Sayyiduna Jabir ibn ‘Ateek رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
“There are seven martyrs besides one who is killed in the path of Allah:
(1) the victim of plague is a martyr,
(2) the one who drowns is a martyr,
(3) the one who dies of chest pain is a martyr,
(4) the one who dies of stomach infection is a martyr,
(5) the one who burns to death is a martyr,
(6) the one who is crushed under something is a martyr,
(7) and the pregnant woman who dies whilst giving birth is a martyr.”
(Sunan Abi Dawud 3111)
