Sa’ad ibn Muadh gave the Prophet SAW the necessary military and political support (nusra) as one of the chiefs of the key tribes of Madina. His support played a vital role in establishing Islam as a way of life. On his death the throne of Allah moved, and Allah truly elevated his status. ... When Sa’ad ibn Muadh died, Jibreel came to the Prophet SAW and said: “Who was this good soul who died? The gates of the heavens were opened for him and the throne of Allah moved.” (Ahmed). When his body was carried after the Janazah the Muslims carrying the body said, “We have not carried a dead body lighter than this.” The Prophet SAW replied to them: “Nothing made his body lighter, but it was such and such number of angels (many angles) who descended and carried him along with you. Those angels had never before descended.” (Narrated in Tabaqat ibn Sa’ad). Bukhari narrates on the authority of Jabir who said: “I heard the Prophet SAW say: ‘the heavens trembled at the death of Sa’ad bin Muadh.
