Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #27802

Qutaibah narrated to us, Ibn Lahi’ah narrated to us, on the authority of Ata’ bin Dinar, on the authority of Abu Yazid Al-Khawlani, that he heard Fadalah bin Ubaid, saying I heard Omar ibn al-Khattab saying, “I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, say, “The martyrs are four: a believing man with good faith who met The enemy was truthful to God until he was killed. He is the one to whom people will raise their eyes on the Day of Resurrection like this.” And he raised his head until it fell. His hood. He said, I do not know whether it was the hood of Omar Arad or the hood of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said, “And a believing man with good faith.” He met the enemy and it was as if his skin had been struck by thorns made of cheese. An arrow from the west came to him and killed him. He is in the second level and a believing man. He mixed a good deed with another bad deed. He met the enemy and believed God until he was killed. That is in the third degree. And a believing man was extravagant. He himself met the enemy and believed God until he was killed. That was at the fourth level.” Abu Issa said, “This is a good, strange hadith that we only know.” From the hadith of Ata’ bin Dinar. He said: I heard Muhammad saying: Saeed bin Abi Ayyub narrated this hadith on the authority of Ata’ bin Dinar. He said on the authority of sheikhs from Khawlan, but he did not mention Abu Yazid in it. And Ata’ bin Dinar said, “There is nothing wrong with him.”
