“The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, sent me on the day of the Battle of Uhud to look for Sa’d ibn Ar-Rabee’ and he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to me: ‘If you see him, then convey to him my greetings, and tell him: ‘The Messenger of Allah asked you how you are doing’.’’ So I began to look through the dead, and I found him in his last moments. He had over seventy wounds on his body from being struck by spears, swords, and arrows. I said to him, ‘O Sa’d, the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, conveys to you his greeting, and asks, ‘How are you doing?’ He said: ‘Peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and upon you. Tell him I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I discern the fragrance of Paradise. And tell my people, the Ansaar: You have no excuse if the Messenger of Allah is harmed while you still can blink an eyelash.’ Then he passed away.”
