Musnad Ahmed: Hadith 3927

26. 'Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas''ood'

مسند احمد

3927
Musnad Ahmed
Its isnad is da’eef because it is interrupted. ‘Abu ‘Ubaidah - who was the son of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood - did not hear from his father]
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Masood (رضي الله عنه) said:
Beware of saying. So and so died as a martyr or So and so was killed as a martyr, for a man may fight to get booty, or he may fight to be remembered, or he may fight to show off. If you must bear witness that someone is a martyr, then bear witness for the group whom The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent on a campaign and they were killed, and they said: O Allah, tell our Prophet (ﷺ) about us, that we have inet You and we are pleased with You and You are pleased with us.
