1. Martyrdom on battlefield.
a. The prophet (pbuh) said: "The martyr enjoys six specific blessings from Allah: his sins will be forgiven from the first moments his blood is shed, he will see his place in paradise, he will be protected from the punishment of the grave, he will feel secure on the most fearful Day (i.e the day of judgement), he will be clothed in the robes of faith, he will be married to Al-Hur al-ayn, he will be able to intercede for seventy members of his famil."
(Thirmidi reported it and classed it as Sahih, also reported by ibn Majah and Ahmed.)
b. From a man from among the companions of the prophet:
"A man asked the prophet (pbuh), 'O' Messenger of Allah! Why will all the believers except the martyr suffer the fitnah of grave"? He said, "The shining swords above the head of the martyr are Fithna enough! "
(Nisai. Classed as Sahih by Shaykh Al-Albani)
2. Defending the borders of Islam for the sake of Allah (SWT)
a. The prophet (pbuh) said:
"Defending the borders of Islam for a day and a night is better then fasting and praying at night for month, if a man dies (whilst defending the borders of Islam), the good deed he was doing will continue to accumulate reward and bring him sustenance (Rizq), and he will be protected from fithna of grave. "
(Muslim)
b. The prophet (pbuh) said:
"When a person dies, his good deeds come to an end, except for his defending the borders of Islam for the sake of Allah. This deed will grow (i.e in reward) until the day of judgement, and he will be protected from the Fitnah of the grave."
3. Death from a stomach disease.
From 'Abdullah ibn Yassar who said:
"I was sitting with Sulaiman ibn Sard and Khalid Ibn Arfatah, and they mentioned that a man had died, from a stomach disease. They expressed their wish to be present at his funeral, and one of them said to the other, "Didn't the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say, 'Whoever is killed by a stomach disease will not be punished in the grave? ' The other said, "Yes, indeed. "
In another report: "You have spoken the truth"
(Classed as Sahih by Shaykh Al-Albani, as hasan by Thirmidi)
4. Reciting Surah Mulk (i.e Qur'an 67)
The prophet (pbuh) said:
"Surah Mulk is a shield from the punishment of the grave."
(Classed as Sahih by Shaykh Al-Albani in Sahih al-jami, hadith no. 3537)
5. Dying on a Friday (day or night).
The prophet (pbuh) said:
"There is no one who died on the day or night of Friday, but Allah, may He be exalted, protect him from the Fithna of the grave. "
(Ahmed, Musnad and Thirmidi. Classed as hasan by Shaykh Al-Albani hadith no. 5649)
Listen to the beautiful recitation of surah mulk with its meaning. Try to memorize this surah or atleast read them every night before you sleep.
So when the Qur'an is recited listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
(Qur'an 7:204)
May Allah teach us what is beneficial and increase us in knowledge..
