Very soon after peace had been restored to Medinah, Sa'd
ibn Mu'adh died of his wounds. It was said that the Archangel
Gabriel came in the middle of that night and said to the
Prophet (pbuh) '0 Muhammad, who is this dead man? When he
arrived, the doors of heaven opened and the Throne of Allah
shook.' The Prophet (pbuh) got up as soon as he heard this,
but found that Sa'd was already dead. Although he had been a
heavy man, the men who carried his body to the grave found
it quite light. They were told that the angels were helping
them. When he was buried, the Prophet (pbuh) said three
times 'Subhan Allah!' (Glory be to Allah!), and 'Allahu Akbar!'
(Allah is Most Great!). When asked why he did this, he replied,
'The grave was tight for this good man, until Allah eased it for
him.' This is one of the rewards that Allah gives to martyrs and
good Muslims.
