حَدَّثَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْبَکْرَاوِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ قَالَتْ قَالَ لِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِکٍ بِمَ مَاتَ يَحْيَی بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ بِالطَّاعُونِ قَالَتْ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الطَّاعُونُ شَهَادَةٌ لِکُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4944
It has been narrated on the authority of Hafsa daughter of Sirin who said: Anas b. Malik asked me the cause of death of Yahya b. 'Abu 'Amra. I said: (He died) of plague. He said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said that death by plague is martyrdom for a Muslim.
