Sahih Muslim 141a (Book 1, Hadith 268) #7533
Protecting Property as Martyrdom

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of protecting one's property and how it can be considered a form of martyrdom.

It is narrated on the authority of Thabit, that when 'Abdullah b. 'Amr and 'Anbasa b. Abi Sufyan were about to fight against each other, Khalid b. 'As rode to 'Abdullah b. 'Amr and persuaded him (not to do so). Upon this Abdullah b. 'Amr said: Are you not aware that the Messenger of Allah had observed:" He who died in protecting his property is a martyr".
حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحُلْوَانِيُّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، - وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ - قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ الأَحْوَلُ، أَنَّ ثَابِتًا، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، لَمَّا كَانَ بَيْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَبَيْنَ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ مَا كَانَ تَيَسَّرُوا لِلْقِتَالِ فَرَكِبَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْعَاصِ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَوَعَظَهُ خَالِدٌ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قُتِلَ دُونَ مَالِهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ

Protect your possessions using peaceful means such as negotiation or persuasion if possible
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of protecting one's possessions. It was narrated by Thabit that when two men, Abdullah b. 'Amr and Anbasa b. Abi Sufyan, were about to fight each other, Khalid b. 'As rode up to Abdullah and persuaded him not to do so. Upon this, Abdullah said that he was aware that the Prophet Muhammad had observed that "he who died in protecting his property is a martyr". This suggests that it is important for people to protect their possessions from harm or danger as it can be seen as an act of martyrdom in itself. It also implies that people should not resort to violence when trying to protect their possessions but instead use peaceful means such as negotiation or persuasion if possible.
