The Prophet  said,
“A Muslim who is killed in a battle is a martyr, (dying in) plague is martyrdom, a woman who dies while delivering a baby is a martyr.” (Ahmad, Daarimee, Tiyaalisee, authenticated by Al-Albaanee)

The Prophet  said, “The martyrs are seven, other than the one who is killed in the Way of Allaah, Ta’aalaa:

- one who dies of plague,
- one who drowns,
- one who dies of pleurisy,
- one who dies of stomachache,
- one who dies due to burning
- one who dies under a demolition (by accident)
- a woman who dies with a baby in her womb.”

(Maalik, Aboo Dawood, An-Nasaaee, Ibn Maajah, Ibn Hibban, Haakim, Ahmad. Authenticated by al-Albaanee)

The Prophet said: ”Getting killed in the Path of Allaah Ta’aalaa is martyrdom,
- (death in) confinement during childbirth is martyrdom,
- (death by) getting burned (by accident) is martyrdom,
- (death by) drowning (by accident) is martyrdom,
- (death due to) tuberculosis is martyrdom,
- (death due to) stomachache is martyrdom.”

(Tabaraanee, Ahmad, authenticated by al-Albaanee)

‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan (radiAllahu  anhu) said, “Worrying about the dunya is a darkness in the heart, while worrying about the akhirah is a light in the heart.”
