Riyad as-Salihin 1356 (Book 11, Hadith 72) #37845
Martyrdom in Defense of Property, Life, Faith and Family

SUMMARY: Dying while defending one's property, life, faith and family is considered martyrdom.

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 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". Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi.
وعن أبي الأعور سعيد بن زيد بن عمرو بن نفيل، أحد العشرة المشهود لهم بالجنة، رضي الله عنهم، قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله 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"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود والترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن صحيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the concept of martyrdom in Islam. It states that if a person dies while defending their property, life, faith or family then they are considered a martyr. This means that they will be rewarded for their sacrifice and will be granted entry into Jannah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was very clear on this point as he said that anyone who dies in defense of these things is a martyr. This hadith teaches us to value our possessions and to protect them at all costs if necessary. It also teaches us to protect our lives and those of our loved ones as well as our faith which should always come first before anything else. Furthermore it encourages us to stand up for what we believe in even if it means sacrificing ourselves for it.
