The Aws chief whose death, the Prophet ﷺ said, made the Throne of Allah shake.

Sa'd came to Islam through Mus'ab, then told his clan he would not speak to them until they believed, and they all did. Before Badr he told the Prophet ﷺ the Ansar would follow him even into the sea. Wounded by an arrow at the Trench, he was nursed in Rufaydah's tent, judged the case of Banu Qurayzah, and died in 627.
