سعد بن الربيع الأنصاري الخزرجي

سعد بن الربيع الأنصاري الخزرجي

An Ansari Companion of the Khazraj. On the day of Uhud the Prophet sent Zayd ibn Thabit (may God be pleased with him) to search for him among the slain; he found him at his last breath with seventy blows on him — spear-thrusts, sword-blows and arrow-shots. He gave him the Prophet's greeting, and he said: 'and on the Messenger of God be peace. Tell him: Messenger of God, I catch the breeze of Paradise. And tell your people the Ansar: you have no excuse with God if the Messenger of God is reached while among you there is an eye that still blinks.' His soul flowed out on the spot ¹.
