[ وَفَاةُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ وَمَا ظَهَرَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا انْقَضَى شَأْنُ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ انْفَجَرَ بِسَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ جُرْحُهُ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهُ شَهِيدًا. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ الزُّرَقِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ شِئْتُ مِنْ رِجَالِ قَوْمِي: أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ قُبِضَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ مُعْتَجِرًا بِعِمَامَةِ مِنْ إسْتَبْرَقٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، مَنْ هَذَا الْمَيِّتُ الَّذِي فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ، وَاهْتَزَّ لَهُ الْعَرْشُ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرِيعًا يَجُرُّ ثَوْبَهُ إلَى سَعْدٍ، فَوَجَدَهُ قَدْ مَاتَ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَتْ: أَقْبَلَتْ عَائِشَةُ قَافِلَةً مِنْ مَكَّةَ، وَمَعَهَا أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ، فَلَقِيَهُ مَوْتُ امْرَأَةٍ لَهُ، فَحَزِنَ عَلَيْهَا بَعْضَ الْحُزْنِ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ: يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكَ يَا أَبَا يَحْيَى، أَتَحْزَنُ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ وَقَدْ أُصِبْتُ بِابْنِ عَمِّكَ، وَقَدْ اهْتَزَّ لَهُ الْعَرْشُ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، قَالَ: كَانَ سَعْدٌ رَجُلًا بَادِنًا، فَلَمَّا حَمَلَهُ النَّاسُ وَجَدُوا لَهُ خِفَّةً، فَقَالَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ: وَاَللَّهِ إنْ كَانَ لَبَادِنَا، وَمَا حَمَلْنَا مِنْ جِنَازَةٍ أَخَفَّ مِنْهُ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: إنَّ لَهُ حَمَلَةً غَيْرَكُمْ، وَاَلَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَقَدْ اسْتَبْشَرَتْ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِرُوحِ سَعْدٍ، وَاهْتَزَّ لَهُ الْعَرْشُ. قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْجَمُوحِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا دُفِنَ سَعْدٌ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، سَبَّحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَسَبَّحَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مِمَّ سَبَّحْتُ ؟ قَالَ: لَقَدْ تَضَايَقَ عَلَى هَذَا الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ قَبْرُهُ، حَتَّى فَرَّجَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَمَجَازُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَوْلُ عَائِشَةَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: إنَّ لِلْقَبْرِ لَضَمَّةً لَوْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهَا نَاجِيًا لَكَانَ سَعْدَ بْنَ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَلِسَعْدِ يَقُولُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ: وَمَا اهْتَزَّ عَرْشُ اللَّهِ مِنْ مَوْتِ هَالِكٍ سَمِعْنَا بِهِ إلَّا لِسَعْدٍ أَبِي عَمْرٍو وَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدٍ، حِينَ اُحْتُمِلَ نَعْشُهُ وَهِيَ تَبْكِيهِ - قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ - وَهِيَ كُبَيْشَةُ بِنْتُ رَافِعِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ بْنِ الْأَبْجَرِ، وَهُوَ خُدْرَةُ بْنُ عَوْفِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ: وَيْلُ أُمِّ سَعْدٍ سَعْدًا صَرَامَةً وَحَدَّا وَسُوْدُدًا وَمَجْدًا وَفَارِسًا مُعَدَّا سُدَّ بِهِ مَسَدَّا يَقُدُّ هَامًا قَدَّا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: كُلُّ نَائِحَةٍ تَكْذِبُ، إلَّا نَائِحَةَ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ
Translation
✧ [The death of Saʿd b. Muʿādh and what appeared along with that] Ibn Isḥāq said: When the affair of Banū Qurayẓah was concluded, the wound of Saʿd b. Muʿādh burst open, and he died of it as a martyr. Ibn Isḥāq said: Muʿādh b. Rifāʿah al-Zuraqī related to me, saying: One of the men of my people whom I chose related to me that Gabriel ﷺ came to the Messenger of God ﷺ when Saʿd b. Muʿādh died, in the middle of the night, wearing a turban of brocade, and said: O Muḥammad, who is this dead man for whom the gates of heaven were opened and the Throne shook? He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ rose quickly, dragging his garment, to go to Saʿd, and found that he had died. Ibn Isḥāq said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Abī Bakr related to me, from ʿAmrah bt. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, who said: ʿĀʾishah was returning from Makkah, and with her was Usayd b. Ḥuḍayr, when he was met by the news of the death of a wife of his, and he grieved for her with some grief. ʿĀʾishah said to him: May God forgive you, O Abū Yaḥyā, do you grieve for a wife when I have been afflicted by the loss of your cousin, and the Throne shook for him? Ibn Isḥāq said: One whom I do not suspect related to me from al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī, who said: Saʿd was a corpulent man, and when the people carried him they found him light. Some men among the hypocrites said: By God, he was corpulent, and we have never carried a bier lighter than his. This reached the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he said: He has bearers other than you. By Him in whose hand is my soul, the angels rejoiced at the spirit of Saʿd, and the Throne shook for him. Ibn Isḥāq said: Muʿādh b. Rifāʿah related to me, from Maḥmūd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAmr b. al-Jamūḥ, from Jābir b. ʿAbd Allāh, who said: When Saʿd was buried and we were with the Messenger of God ﷺ, the Messenger of God ﷺ said subḥān Allāh, and the people said subḥān Allāh with him. Then he said Allāhu akbar, and the people said Allāhu akbar with him. They said: O Messenger of God, why did you say subḥān Allāh? He said: The grave pressed upon this righteous servant until God relieved him of it. Ibn Hishām said: The import of this tradition is the saying of ʿĀʾishah: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Verily the grave has a squeezing; if anyone were to escape it, it would be Saʿd b. Muʿādh. Ibn Isḥāq said: Concerning Saʿd a man of the Anṣār said: And no Throne of God has ever been known to shake At the death of any mortal we have heard of, except for Saʿd Abū ʿAmr. And the mother of Saʿd said, while his bier was carried and she was weeping for him—Ibn Hishām said: she was Kubayshah bt. Rāfiʿ b. Muʿāwiyah b. ʿUbayd b. Thaʿlabah b. ʿAbd b. al-Abjar, who is Khudrah b. ʿAwf b. al-Ḥārith b. al-Khazraj: Woe to the mother of Saʿd, Saʿd of firmness and sharpness, And lordship and glory, and a ready horseman, Who plugged a gap with himself, Who cleaves skulls asunder. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: Every wailing woman lies, except the wailing woman of Saʿd b. Muʿādh.
