The Prophet, salaallaahu `alayhi wa sallam said,

"A Muslim who is killed in a battle is a martyr, (dying in) plague is martyrdom, a woman who dies while delivering a baby is a martyr." (Ahmad, Daarimee, Tiyaalisee, authenticated by Al-Albaanee.)

The Prophet (salaallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said,

"The martyrs are seven, other than the one who is killed in the Way of Allaah, ta`aalaa:

One who dies of plague,

one who drowns,

one who dies of pleurisy,

one who dies of stomach ache,

one who dies due to burning

one who dies under a demolition (by accident)

a woman who dies with a baby in her womb."
 
(Maalik, Aboo Dawood, An-Nasaaee, Ibn Maajah, Ibn Hibban, Haakim, Ahmad. Authenticated by al-Albaanee.)

The Prophet (salaallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said:

"Getting killed in the Path of Allaah ta`aalaa is martyrdom,

[death in] confinement during childbirth is martyrdom,

[death by] getting burned [by accident] is martyrdom,

[death by] drowning [by accident] is martyrdom,

[death due to] tuberculosis is martyrdom,

[death due to] stomach ache is martyrdom."

(Tabaraanee, Ahmad, authenticated by al-Albaanee.)
