Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39573 — The Battle of the Trench

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): We came for Hajj or Umrah and were met at Dhu al-Hulayfah. The boys of the Ansar would go out to meet their families. The people met Sayyiduna Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and gave him the news of his wife's death. He covered his head with a cloth and began to weep. I said to him: "May Allah Almighty forgive you. You are a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and you have a standing in precedence and seniority, and you are weeping over a woman?" Sayyidah Aishah said: He uncovered his head and said: "By my life, you have spoken the truth. After Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) there is no right left to weep over anyone. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said about him what he said." I asked: "What did he (peace and blessings be upon him) say about him?" He said: "(He said): Indeed, the Throne itself shook at the death of Sa'd bin Mu'adh." Sayyidah Aishah said: Usayd was walking between me and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
