The Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited Jabr during his illness. When he entered, he heard the women weeping and saying, "We thought your death would come as a martyr killed in the path of Allah."He said, "Do you count as martyrdom only being killed in the path of Allah? In that case, your martyrs would be few indeed. Being killed in the path of Allah is martyrdom, dying of a stomach ailment is martyrdom, death by burning is martyrdom, drowning is martyrdom, the one crushed under rubble is a martyr, the one who dies of a chronic illness is a martyr, and a woman who dies in pregnancy is a martyr."A man asked, "Are you weeping while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is sitting here?"He said, "Let them weep, but once death has come, let no woman weep over him."
أخبرنا أحمد بن سليمان قال حدثنا جعفر بن عون عن أبي عميس عن عبد الله بن
أن رسول الله ﷺ عاد جبرا فلما دخل سمع النساء يبكين ويقلن كنا نحسب وفاتك قتلا في سبيل الله فقال وما تعدون الشهادة إلا من قتل في سبيل الله إن شهداءكم إذا لقليل القتل في سبيل الله شهادة والبطن شهادة والحرق شهادة والغرق شهادة والمغموم يعني الهدم شهادة والمجنون شهادة والمرأة تموت بجمع شهيدة قال رجل أتبكين ورسول الله ﷺ قاعد قال دعهن فإذا وجب فلا تبكين عليه باكية
