Sunan an-Nasai 4095 — Defending Wealth, Family, Faith, and Life

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4095

This hadith about defending wealth, family, religion, and life lists four forms of protection. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] says that whoever is killed protecting his wealth is a martyr. He gives the same description to the person killed protecting his family, his religion, or his own life. The repeated phrase makes the shared point clear: each person is killed while defending something under threat. The narration does not describe an aggressor seeking conflict or taking another person’s rights. It speaks about people resisting attacks against property, family, faith, or personal safety. The lesson should stay close to those four stated cases and avoid adding other categories that the hadith itself does not mention.
