SAAD' LOVE

The battle of Uhud was one of the most difficult times on theProphet (sallallahu alayhi wasalam) and the Muslimeen. Not only
did the Munafiq, Abdullah bin Salool, betray them by withdrawing 300 of his men when the Muslims arrived at Uhud, but they were
also greatly outnumbered.
Those who stayed in battle were some of the bravest people to exist in history. They were the true believers who sacrificed all they had for Allah and His Messenger, knowning that they would be killed.

Many of the great Sahabah began falling one by one. On that day,great men like Hamzah died. Men like Saa’d bin Rabi’ died. It was a
sad time for the Prophet seeing that he was losing his most loyal companions. Those who believed in him and stood by him.

Sa’ad bin Rabi’ was one of the wealthiest of the Ansar, if not the wealthiest. He had everything from money, wives, and children. He
went out to Uhud leaving behind all of it for the sake of Allah. At the end of the battle, the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasalam, asked the
Sahabah, “Who will find out for me what happened to Saa’d bin Al-Rabi’?” So one of the Ansar said, “I will”.

The Ansari went out looking for Sa’ad and found him heavily injured on the ground on his last breathe. The Ansari said to Sa’ad, “The Prophet has asked
to find out whether you are alive or dead”.

Saa’d replied,
I am dead. Pass my salam to the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasalam, and tell him that Sa’ad says: may Allah reward you the best of reward on behalf of a tribe to their chosen Prophet, and pass my
salam to your people, and let them know that Saa’d says that they shall have no excuse with Allah if something were to happen to you and they still have an eye that blinks (to defend you).
He died soon after.
