حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْجُبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ الشَّامِيُّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ شَهِيدُ الْبَحْرِ مِثْلُ شَهِيدَىِ الْبَرِّ وَالْمَائِدُ فِي الْبَحْرِ كَالْمُتَشَحِّطِ فِي دَمِهِ فِي الْبَرِّ وَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَوْجَتَيْنِ كَقَاطِعِ الدُّنْيَا فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكَلَ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ بِقَبْضِ الأَرْوَاحِ إِلاَّ شَهِيدَ الْبَحْرِ فَإِنَّهُ يَتَوَلَّى قَبْضَ أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَيَغْفِرُ لِشَهِيدِ الْبَرِّ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا إِلاَّ الدَّيْنَ وَلِشَهِيدِ الْبَحْرِ الذُّنُوبَ وَالدَّيْنَ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Sulaim bin ‘Amr

English translation
It was narrated that Sulaim bin ‘Amr said: I heard Abu Umamah saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “The martyr at sea is like two martyrs on land, and the one who suffers seasickness is like one who gets drenched in his own blood on land. The time spent between one wave and the next is like a lifetime spent in obedience to Allah. Allah has appointed the Angel of Death to seize souls, except for the martyr at sea, for Allah Himself seizes their souls. He forgives the martyrs on land for all sins except debt, but (He forgives) the martyr at sea all his sins and his debt.”
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ উমামা (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ একজন শহীদ নৌযোদ্ধার মর্যাদা দু’জন শহীদ স্থলযোদ্ধার সমান। আর নৌ-পথে যার মাথাঘুরানি হয়, তার মর্যাদা স্থলযুদ্ধে শহীদের মর্যাদার সমান। আর দু’টি ঢেউয়ের মধ্যবর্তী দূরত বঅতিক্রমকারীর মর্যাদা আল্লাহর আনুগত্যে সারা দুনিয়া সফরকারীর সমান। আল্লাহ তা‘আলা মৃত্যুদূতকে নৌযোদ্ধা ব্যতীত সকলের রূহ হরণ করার দায়িত্ব দিয়েছেন। স্বয়ং আল্লাহ নৌযোদ্ধার রূহ নিয়ে নেন। তিনি যুদ্ধে শহীদের সকল গুনাহ মাফ করেন তার ঋণ ব্যতীত, কিন্তু নৌ-যুদ্ধে শহীদের সকল গুনাহ এবং ঋণও মাফ করেন।
