Sunan Ibn Majah

from his father, that his grandfather fell sick and the Prophet (saw) came to visit him. One of his family members said: "We hoped that when he died it would be as a martyr in the cause of Allah." The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "In that case the martyrs of my nation would be few. Being killed in the cause of Allah is martyrdom; dying of the plague is martyrdom; when a pregnant woman dies in childbirth that is martyrdom; and dying of drowning, or burning, or of pleurisy, is martyrdom."

that the Prophet (saw) said: "What do you say among yourselves about the martyr?" They said: "The one who is killed in the cause of Allah." He said: "In that case the martyrs among my nation would be few. Whoever is killed in the cause of Allah is a martyr; whoever dies in the cause of Allah is a martyr; whoever dies of a stomach disease is a martyr; and whoever dies of the plague is a martyr."

"When Mughirah bin Shu'bah fought alongside the Prophet (saw) he would carry a spear, and when he would come back he would throw his spear down so that someone would pick it up and give it back to him." Ali said to him: "I will tell the Messenger of Allah (saw) about that." He (the Prophet (saw)) said: "Do not do that, for it you do that it will not be picked up as a lost item to be returned."

"The Messenger of Allah (saw) had an Arabian bow in his hand, and he saw a man who had a Persian bow in his hand. He said: 'What is this? Throw it away. You should use this and others like it, and Qana* spears. Perhaps Allah will support His religion thereby and enable you to conquer lands.'"

that the Prophet (saw) said: "Allah will admit three people to Paradise by virtue of one arrow: The one who makes it, seeking reward by making it well; the one who shoots it; and the one who hands it to him." And the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Shoot and ride, and if you shoot that is dearer to me than if you ride. All things that a Muslim man does for entertainment are in vain except for shooting arrows, training his horse and playing with his wife, for these are things that bring reward."
