Saad fell ill in Makkah, and the Prophet ﷺ came to visit him. Saad asked him, "Messenger of Allah, do you not dislike that a man should die in the land from which he emigrated?"He replied, "Yes, but perhaps Allah will raise you up so that through you He may harm some people and benefit others."
مرض سعد بمكة، فأتاه النبي ﷺ يعوده، فقال له: يا رسول الله، أليس تكره أن يموت الرجل في الأرض التي هاجر منها؟ قال: بلى، ولعل الله تبارك وتعالى يرفعك فيضر بك قوما وينفع آخرين بك.

Bazzar (3139) narrated it from Muhammad bin Umar bin Hayaj, who said, Fadl bin Dukayn Abu Naeem informed us, who said, Muhammad bin Qays informed us, from Abu Burda, from Abu Musa, and he mentioned it.Haythami said in Majma (5/253), "Bazzar and Tabarani narrated it, and the men of Bazzar's narration are the men of the sahih, apart from Muhammad bin Umar bin Hayaj, who is trustworthy."I say, its chain of transmission is hasan, for Muhammad bin Umar bin Hayaj is the Hamdani, the Kufan, whose hadith is hasan.
