Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَرْضًا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو يُقَالُ لَهَا الْوَهْطُ فَأَمَرَ مَوَالِيَهُ فَلَبِسُوا آلَتَهُمْ وَأَرَادُوا الْقِتَالَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ مَاذَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُظْلَمُ بِمَظْلَمَةٍ فَيُقَاتِلَ فَيُقْتَلَ إِلَّا قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated from Sa'd ibn Ibrahim that he heard a man from Banu Makhzum narrating from his uncle that Mu'awiyah wanted to seize a piece of land belonging to Abdullah ibn Amr called al-Waht. He ordered his freed slaves to put on their armor and prepare themselves, saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever is killed defending his property is a martyr."
