The reciter: Zayd ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: Abdullah ibn Numayr narrated to us, saying: Hisham narrated to us from his father from Aisha, who said:

On the day of Al-Khandaq (battle of the Trench' the medial arm vein of Sa`d bin Mu`ad [??] was injured and the Prophet (ﷺ) pitched a tent in the mosque to look after him. There was another tent for Banu Ghaffar in the mosque and the blood started flowing from Sa`d's tent to the tent of Bani Ghaffar. They shouted, "O occupants of the tent! What is coming from you to us?" They found that Sa`d' wound was bleeding profusely and Sa`d died in his tent.

أصيب سعد يوم الخندق في الأكحل فضرب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم خيمة في المسجد ليعوده من قريب فلم يرعهم وفي المسجد خيمة من بني غفار إلا الدم يسيل إليهم ، فقالوا يا أهل الخيمة ما هذا الذي يأتينا من قبلكم فإذا سعد يغذو جرحه دماً فمات فيها

Sahih al-Bukhari 463

.

The Shaykh : (may Allah be pleased with him), Sa'd ibn Mu'adh was an ally of the Banu Qaynuqa and he is the better of the two Sa'ds, and the second is Sa'd ibn Ubadah. Sa'd ibn Ubadah was the leader of the Khazraj, and Sa'd ibn Mu'adh was the leader of the Aws. These are the two well-known tribes from which the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them) are composed.

When the Banu Qaynuqa betrayed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he asked Allah, saying: "O Allah, do not let me die until You make my eye content with them." He was wounded on the Day of the Trench, and the Day of the Trench was before the Banu Qaynuqa. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) campaigned against the Banu Qaynuqa and besieged them for nearly a month, he asked them to submit to the judgment of any person. They requested to submit to the judgment of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, thinking that he would intercede for them with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). So he sent for him to come, and he was in a tent in the mosque. He came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed him as judge over the Banu Qaynuqa after they had agreed to it. He judged that their fighting men should be killed, and their women and children taken as captives. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have judged in them with the judgment of Allah from above the seven heavens."

لما غدر بنو قريظة بالنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سأل الله فقال اللهم لا تمتني حتى تقر عيني بهم ، أصيب هو يوم الخندق ويوم الخندق قبل بني قريظة ولما غزا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بني قريظة وحاصرهم قريبا من الشهر طلب منهم أن ينزلوا على حكم أحد من الناس فطلبوا أن ينزلوا على حكم سعد بن معاذ ، ظنوا أنه يشفع لهم عند النبي صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم فأرسل إليه أن يجيء وكان في خيمة في المسجد فجاء فحكّمه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في بني قريظة بعد أن رضوا بذلك فحكم أن تقتل مقاتلتهم ، وأن تسبى نساؤهم وذريتهم ، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لقد حكمت فيهم حكم الله من فوق سبع سماوات

So Allah made his eye content with the greatest contentment, for their judgment was under his command and he was the judge among them. When he judged between them and returned to the mosque, blood burst forth from his wound, which was a wound from the Day of the Trench, and he died. Allah did not cause him to die until He had made his eye content with his allies, the Banu Qaynuqa. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed

That the Throne of the Lord, Exalted is His Majesty, trembled at the death of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh.

أن عرش الرب جل جلاله اهتز لموت سعد بن معاذ

and with this, Hassan ibn Thabit said: "And the Throne of Allah did not tremble for the death of anyone we heard of except for Sa'd, the father of 'Amr".
