When she saw that, she ate. (1)
It is also recorded by Abū Yaʿlā in his Musnad.
Mujālid narrated—from al-Shaʿbī—from Jābir—who said:
“We were in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when Saʿd ibn Mālik approached. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘This is my maternal uncle; let any man show me his uncle.’ (2)”
I say: This is because the Prophet’s mother belonged to the Zuhrah clan; she was Āmina bint Wahb ibn ʿAbd Manāf, the cousin of Saʿd’s father Abū Waqqāṣ.
Yaḥyā al-Qaṭṭān (3) transmitted—from al-Jaʿd ibn Aws—that ʿĀʾishah bint Saʿd related:
Saʿd said, “I fell ill in Mecca, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in to visit me. He wiped his hand over my face, chest, and stomach, and prayed, ‘O Allah, heal Saʿd.’
To this very moment I still feel the coolness of his blessed hand ﷺ upon my liver.” (4)
(1) Recorded by Ahmad 1/181–182 and by Muslim (1748) in the Book of Jihad, chapter “The Spoils,” both in its brief and full versions; also by Muslim in the Book of Virtues, chapter “The Merits of Saad ibn Abi Waqqas,” and by al-Tirmidhi (3188). All of them transmit it through the chain: Simak ibn Harb – Musab ibn Saad – his father Saad. Abridged versions appear in Abu Dawud (3740) in the Book of Jihad, chapter “On the Distribution of Booty,” and in al-Tirmidhi (3080) in the exegesis section, chapter “Sura al-Anfal.” Al-Suyuti cites it in al-Durr al-Manthur 5/141 and adds its attribution to Ibn al-Mundhir, Ibn Abi Hatim, and Ibn Marduyah.
(2) Reported by al-Tirmidhi (3753) in the section on merits, chapter “The Merits of Saad,” by al-Tabarani in al-Kabir no. 323, and by Ibn Saad 3/1/97, all through the isnad: Mujalid – al-Shaabi – Jabir. Al-Hakim 3/498 declared authentic the version transmitted by Ismail ibn Abi Khalid – al-Shaabi – Jabir, and al-Dhahabi agreed. The hadith has already been cited above.
(3) In the printed edition the word has been corrupted to “al-Bitan.”
(4) Al-Jaad ibn Aws is al-Jaad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Aws; he is sometimes identified by his grandfather’s name and occasionally in diminutive form. In the Musnad 1/171 the chain runs: Yahya ibn Saeed – al-Jaad ibn Aws ibn Aisha bint Saad – his father Saad. Al-Bukhari also records it (5659) in “Patients,” chapter “Placing the Hand on the Sick,” through the route: Bukayr —
