Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail (May Allah be pleased with him) reported, one of the ten Companions who were given the glad tidings of entering Jannah reported:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: "He who dies while defending his property is a martyr; he who dies in defence of his own life is a martyr; and he who dies on defense of his faith is a martyr, he who dies in defence of his family is a martyr." <b>[Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi]</b>.

وعن أبي الأعور سعيد بن زيد بن عمرو بن نفيل، أحد العشرة المشهود لهم بالجنة، رضي الله عنهم، قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول‏:‏ ‏

‏من قتل دون ماله فهو شهيد، ومن قتل دون دمه فهو شهيد، ومن قتل دون دينه فهو شهيد، ومن قتل دون عرضه فهو شهيد‏
