إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنِي الْأَشْعَثُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ؓ قَالَ:
قَبَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ رُكْبَتَيْهِ، فَدَخَلَ مَلَكٌ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَجْلِسًا قَالَ: فَأَوْسَعْتُ لَهُ، وَأُمُّ سَعْدٍ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُعَاذٍ - تَبْكِيهِ وَهِيَ تَقُولُ: وَيْلُ أُمِّ سَعْدٍ سَعْدَا بَرَاعَةً وَمَجْدَا بَعْدَ أَيَادٍ لَهُ وَمَجْدَا يُقَدِّمُ شَبَابَهُ سُدَّا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: كُلُّ الْبَوَاكِي تَكْذِبُ إِلَّا أُمَّ سَعْدٍ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew up his knees that day. An angel entered but found no place to sit. He said: So I made room for him. And Umm Sa'd—meaning Ibn Mu'adh—was weeping over him, saying: 'Woe to the mother of Sa'd, Sa'd, in excellence and glory, after his many favors and glory, he puts forward his youth as a barrier.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'All the weeping women lie except Umm Sa'd.'
