I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The martyrs are four kinds.A believing man of strong faith who meets the enemy, remains true to Allah until he is killed. That is the one toward whom people will lift their eyes on the Day of Resurrection, like this." And he raised his head until his cap fell off. The narrator said, I do not know whether he meant Umar's cap or the Prophet's cap ﷺ.He continued, "And a believing man of strong faith who meets the enemy, but it is as though his skin were being struck with the thorns of an acacia tree out of fear, then a stray arrow comes and kills him. He is in the second rank.And a believing man who mixed righteous deeds with evil ones, who meets the enemy, remains true to Allah until he is killed. He is in the third rank.And a believing man who was excessive against himself, who meets the enemy, remains true to Allah until he is killed. He is in the fourth rank."
حدثنا قتيبة حدثنا ابن لهيعة عن عطاء بن دينار عن أبي يزيد الخولاني أنه سمع فضالة بن عبيد يقول سمعت
سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول الشهداء أربعة رجل مؤمن جيد الإيمان لقي العدو فصدق الله حتى قتل فذلك الذي يرفع الناس إليه أعينهم يوم القيامة هكذا ورفع رأسه حتى وقعت قلنسوته قال فما أدري أقلنسوة عمر أراد أم قلنسوة النبي ﷺ قال ورجل مؤمن جيد الإيمان لقي العدو فكأنما ضرب جلده بشوك طلح من الجبن أتاه سهم غرب فقتله فهو في الدرجة الثانية ورجل مؤمن خلط عملا صالحا وآخر سيئا لقي العدو فصدق الله حتى قتل فذلك في الدرجة الثالثة ورجل مؤمن أسرف على نفسه لقي العدو فصدق الله حتى قتل فذلك في الدرجة الرابعة
Its isnad is daif. It was also transmitted by Ibn Mubarak in Jihad, no. 126, and by Ahmad, 1/22, from the hadith of Ibn Lahia, through the same route. Abu Yazid Khawlani was not deemed reliable by anyone except Tirmidhi, as far as I know, so he is majhul (Taqrib). The chain is therefore daif because of him.
