Irbaz bin Sariya reported,

I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "The martyrs and those who died on their beds will dispute before Allah concerning those who died from the plague. The martyrs will say, 'Our brothers were killed as we were killed.' Those who died on their beds will say, 'Our brothers died on their beds as we died.' So Allah will judge between them, saying, 'Look at the wounds of those struck by the plague. If their wounds resemble the wounds of the martyrs, then they belong with them.' They will look at the wounds of those struck by the plague and find that they indeed resemble the wounds of the martyrs, so they will be joined with them."

حدثنا أبو اليمان حدثنا إسماعيل بن عياش عن بحير بن سعد عن خالد بن معدان عن ابن أبي بلال

عن العرباض بن سارية قال

سمعت النبي ﷺ يقول يختصم الشهداء والمتوفون على فرشهم إلى الله عز وجل في الذين ماتوا من الطاعون فيقول الشهداء إخواننا قتلوا ويقول المتوفون على فرشهم إخواننا ماتوا على فرشهم كما متنا فيقضي الله عز وجل بينهم أن انظروا إلى جراحات المطعنين فإن أشبهت جراحات الشهداء فهم منهم فينظرون إلى جراح المطعنين فإذا هم قد أشبهت فيلحقون معهم
