Hadith on Shuhada: Best of martyrs stand up to oppressive rulers

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger fo Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The master of the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection is Hamzah ibn ‘Abdul Muttalib, and a man who stands up to a tyrannical leader, prohibiting him from evil and enjoining good upon him, and he is killed for it.
