Lesson fifty four :Martyrdom and purity

Islam's Prophet( S. A. )said:

إذا مُتَّ عَلَى طَهارَةٍ تَكُونُ شَهِيْدا

Translation

When you pass away in purity, you shall be ranged with the martyrs..

Brief description

The above tradition refers to part of instructions of Prophet( S. A. )to one of his companions named Onse saying: If you can, perform ritual ablution day and night, because if you die in this condition, you shall be considered as a martyr'. Although the first meaning of tradition is performing ritual ablution, but at the meantime, it refers to a more important fact that is living and dying innocently. Those who are chaste, their heart is pure and have a pure life and mind, and leave the world in this condition, surely will be ranged with martyrs because martyrdom is not limited to being killed in the battle field. There are also other traditions mentioned in the sources of the Prophet's House which confirm this truth.
