We were returning from Hajj, or perhaps Umra, when we were met at Dhul Hulayfa. Some young men from the Ansar had come out to meet their families, and they met Usayd bin Hudayr and gave him news of his wife's death. He covered his face and began to weep.She said, I said to him, "May Allah forgive you. You are the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and you have such precedence and seniority in Islam. How can you weep over a woman?"He uncovered his head and said, "You are right, by my life. It is fitting that I should not weep over anyone after Saad bin Muaz, given what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about him."She said, I asked him, "What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say about him?"He replied, "The Throne shook at the death of Saad bin Muaz."She said, and he was riding between me and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
حدثنا يزيد بن هارون أخبرنا محمد بن عمرو عن أبيه عن جده علقمة
قدمنا من حج أو عمرة فتلقينا بذي الحليفة وكان غلمان من الأنصار تلقوا أهليهم فلقوا أسيد بن حضير فنعوا له امرأته فتقنع وجعل يبكي قالت فقلت له غفر الله لك أنت صاحب رسول الله ﷺ ولك من السابقة والقدم ما لك تبكي على امرأة فكشف عن رأسه وقال صدقت لعمري حقي أن لا أبكي على أحد بعد سعد بن معاذ وقد قال له رسول الله ﷺ ما قال قالت قلت له ما قال له رسول الله ﷺ قال لقد اهتز العرش لوفاة سعد بن معاذ قالت وهو يسير بيني وبين رسول الله ﷺ
