4122. Narrated ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها Sa’d was wounded on the day (of the battle) of Al-Khandaq (i.e., the Trench) when a man from Quraish, called Ḥibbān bin Al-‘Ariqa hit him (with an arrow). The man was Ḥibbān bin Qais from (the tribe of) Banī Ma’iṣ bin ‘Amir bin Lu’ai who shot an arrow at Sa’d’s medial arm vein (or main artery of the arm). The Prophet ﷺ pitched a tent (for Sa’d) in the mosque so that he might be near to the Prophet ﷺ to visit. When the Prophet ﷺ returned from (the battle) of Al-Khandaq (i.e., the Trench) and laid down his arms and took a bath, Jibrīl (Gabriel) عليه السلام came to him while he (i.e., Jibrīl) was shaking the dust off his head, and said, “You have laid down the arms? By Allāh, I have not laid them down. Go out to them (to attack them).” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Where?” (Angel) Jibrīl pointed towards Banī Quraiza. So Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ went to them (i.e., Banū Quraiza) (and besieged them). They then surrendered to the Prophet’s judgement but he directed them to Sa’d to give his verdict concerning them. Sa’d said, “I give my judgement that their warriors should be killed, their women and children should be taken as captives, and their properties distributed.” Narrated Hisḥām: My father informed me that ‘Aishah said, “Sa’d said, ‘O Allāh! You know that there is nothing more beloved to me than to fight in Your Cause against those who disbelieved your Messenger ﷺ and turned him out (of Makkah), O Allāh! I think you have put to an end the fight between us and them (i.e., Quraish infidels). And if there still remains any fight with the Quraish (infidels), then keep me alive till I fight against them for Your sake. But if you have brought the war to an end, then let this wound burst and cause my death thereby.' So blood gushed from the wound. There was a tent in the mosque belonging to Banū Ghifār who were surprised by the blood flowing towards them. They said, 'O people of the tent! What is this thing which is coming to us from your side?' Behold! Blood was flowing profusely out of Sa'd's wound. Sa'd then died because of that."
