7 Shuhada

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)
