Witness, Martyr
قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لِمَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَىٰ مَا تَعْمَلُونَ {98}
Say: ‘O People of the Book! Why are you disbelieving in the Signs of Allah and Allah is a Witness of what you are doing?’ [3:98]
وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ يُقْتَلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتٌ ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ وَلَٰكِنْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ {154}
And do not be saying for the ones killed in the Way of Allah as dead ones; but they are alive, but you are not perceiving [2:154]
يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَ رَأَيْتَ الرَّادَّ عَلَيَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فَهُوَ كَالرَّادِّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَنْ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فَهُوَ كَالرَّادِّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ شَهِيدٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ قَالَ إِي وَ اللَّهِ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ حَيٌّ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِ يُرْزَقُ
Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Abu Baseer who said:
I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, do you-asws see the one who rejects this matter (Al-Wilayah) to me as if he has rejected you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The one who rejects this matter to you, so he has rejected against the Rasool Allah-saww, and against Allah-azwj Blessed and High. O Abu Muhammad! The dead ones from among you who were upon this matter (Al-Wilayah) is the martyr’. I said, ‘Even if he died upon his bed?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj, even if he died upon his bed, he is alive in the Presence of his Lord-azwj being given Sustenance.[1]
