The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said, "The martyrs are five



The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said, "The martyrs are five.

- one who dies of plague, 
- one who dies of diarrhoea (or cholera)
- one who drowns, 
- one who is buried under debris
- one who dies fighting in the way of Allah.

- ( Some people have have refered 2 more kind of martyrs but not have given any Reference of Hadeeths for the same.

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the, Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: While a man walks along a path, finds a thorny twig lying on the way and puts it aside, Allah would appreciate it and forgive him The Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: The martyrs are of five kinds: one who dies of plague; one who dies of diarrhoea (or cholera) ; one who is drowned; one who is buried under debris and one who dies fighting in the way of Allah.

(Sahih Al Bukhari, Book #020, Hadith #4705)
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "While a man was going on a way, he saw a thorny branch and removed it from the way and Allah became pleased by his action and forgave him for that." Then the Prophet said, "Five are martyrs: One who dies of plague, one who dies of an abdominal disease, one who dies of drowning, one who is buried alive (and) dies and one who is killed in Allah's cause." (The Prophet further said, "If the people knew the reward for pronouncing the Adhan and for standing in the first row (in the congregational prayer) and found no other way to get it except by drawing lots they would do so, and if they knew the reward of offering the Zuhr prayer early (in its stated time), they would race for it and they knew the reward for 'Isha' and Fajr prayers in congregation, they would attend them even if they were to crawl') (Sahih Al Bukhari, Book#11, Hadith #624)
