Although I am not aware of a specific hadith that directly mentions the one killed unjustly, several hadiths refer to those killed defending their wealth and honor, which is unjustified murder. Also, the Prophet ﷺ, in an authentic hadith (Sahih Bukhari), called both Umar and Uthman martyrs, and they were both killed unjustly.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff70b76658b4c232a80","tag":"Seerah: Sunnah and Hadith","count":68},{"_id":"668da0570b76658b4c233497","tag":"Death: Other","count":37}],"createdOn":"2024-10-02T17:10:01.044Z"}
