Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34494 — Reports on Sad bin Muadh

Waqid bin Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh said: When Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Madinah, I went in to him with my nephew, and I greeted him. He (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Who are you?" I said: "I am Waqid bin Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh." He (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and wept greatly. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You certainly resemble Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him). He was among the greatest and tallest of people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent an army to Ukaydir of Dumah, and he sent him (peace and blessings be upon him) a garment of silk with gold woven into it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put it on, and the people began touching the garment with their hands because of its beauty. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Does this please you?' The people said: 'O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we have never seen you (peace and blessings be upon him) looking finer than today.' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The handkerchiefs of Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) in Paradise are finer than this garment you see.'"
