Does the one who drowns share in the virtue of the martyr?

Question:
Does the virtue of the martyr include the one who drowns?

Answer:
The one who drowns is a martyr; the one who dies in a collapse or drowning is a martyr.
Q: But without the two testimonies of faith...?
The Shaykh: Allah knows best; their affair is with Allah. They are martyrs. The one who dies by drowning, by burning, by a collapse, or from pleurisy, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He mentioned among them , and another narration adds to that.
Q: Is it a condition that he be a fighter?
The Shaykh: Even if he did not fight, if he went out for jihad and died in the path of Allah, martyrdom is hoped for him, the virtue of martyrdom; because he had resolved to fight in jihad and prepared himself for jihad.
Q: What about one who resolved to fight in jihad, then died while the army was on the way, having fallen ill and died?
The Shaykh: It is hoped for him based on his intention, if Allah wills.
