Death of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh

Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, chief of the Aws tribe and one of the most prominent Ansar, died from a wound he received during the Battle of the Trench. He had prayed to Allah not to die until the matter of Banu Qurayza was settled, and passed away shortly after judging their case. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'The Throne of the Most Merciful shook at the death of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh.' Seventy thousand angels attended his funeral. Despite his large frame, his bier was remarkably light, which companions noted.
