Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr from
his father that Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman told him that she had heard
A'isha, the umm al-muminin, say (when it was mentioned to her that
Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "The dead are tormented by the weeping
of the living"), "May Allah forgive Abu Abd ar-Rahman. Of course he
has not lied, but he has forgotten, or made a mistake. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed by a jewish
woman whose family were crying over her and he said, 'You are crying
over her, and she is being tormented in her grave. ' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn
Jabir ibn Atik that Atik ibn al-Harith, the grandfather of Abdullah
ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir on his mother's side, told him that Jabir ibn
Atik had told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit and found him in
his death-throes. He called to him but he did not reply. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "We belong to
Allah, and to Him we are returning," and added, "You are being taken
from us, Abur-Rabi`." The women cried out and wept, and Jabir began
to silence them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Leave them, and when the necessary time comes, none
of the women should cry." They said, "Messenger of Allah, what is the
necessary time?" and he replied, "When he dies." The dying man's
daughter said, "By Allah, I hope that you will be a martyr, for you
have completed your preparations for battle," and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah has made
his reward fall according to his intention. What do you consider dying
a martyr to be?" They said, "Death in the way of Allah." The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There are
seven kinds of martyr other than those killed in the way of Allah.
Someone who is killed by the plague is a martyr, someone who drowns is
a martyr, someone who dies of pleurisy is a martyr, someone who dies
of a disease of the belly is a martyr, someone who dies by fire is a
martyr, someone who dies under a falling building is a martyr and a
woman who dies in childbirth is a martyr."
