Does sincerely asking for martyrdom bring the green bird reward even if you pass away naturally?

Assalamu Alaikum, dear brothers and sisters. We know the hadith that whoever genuinely asks Allah for shahadah gets the rank of a shaheed, even if they die in their own bed. But I’m wondering about the details. Specifically, does this include having your soul in a green bird in Paradise, or is it just the spiritual reward and rank without that particular experience? I mean, it’s said they share the same station as battlefield martyrs, so I’m curious how far that goes. JazakAllah khair for any insights you can share!

Short answer: yes, you get the green bird. Why? Because Allah is Al-Kareem. He doesn't shortchange sincere slaves.

Interesting question. The hadith says you get the rank of a shaheed, so maybe it includes all the specifics? Not a scholar tho.

From what I've heard, if you're sincere, you get the full reward, green bird and all. Allah's mercy is vast, brother.

I think the green bird is specifically for those martyred in battle. The intention gets you the reward but not necessarily every detail. Allahu 'alam.
