Hadith on Martyrdom: A believer who is killed by an oppressor is a martyr

Abu Ja’far reported: I was sitting with Suwaid ibn Muqarrin and he said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Whoever is killed defending himself from injustice is a martyr.”

[Sunan An-Nasa’i, Book 37, Number 4101, Sahih]

عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ  كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ قُتِلَ دُونَ مَظْلَمَتِهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ

سنن النسائي كِتَاب تَحْرِيمِ الدَّمِ من قتل دون مظلمته فهو شهيد
