I (the author) say: Interpreting it as the sarīr (bier)—I do not know whether this was said by Ibn ʿUmar or by Mujāhid—is an explanation of no real value. What is firmly established is the Throne of the All-Merciful, the Throne of Allah. The Throne is a created being, entirely subject to Allah: whenever He wills it to quake, it quakes by His will, and He endowed it with a perception that enabled it to love Saʿd, just as—Exalted is He—He endowed Mount Uḥud with a perception by which it loved the Prophet ﷺ.

Allah the Exalted said: “O mountains, echo his praises with him” (34:10);
He also said: “The seven heavens and the earth glorify Him” (17:44);
and He then generalized, declaring: “There is nothing that does not celebrate His praise.” This is the plain truth.

In Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ibn Masʿūd relates: “We used to hear the food glorifying Allah while it was being eaten.” (1)

This is a vast field, and its path is faith.

Abū Nuʿaym reports: Ismāʿīl ibn Muslim al-ʿAbdī narrated to us, from Abū al-Mutawakkil,
that the Prophet ﷺ mentioned fever and said, “Whoever is afflicted by it, it is his share of the Fire.”
So Saʿd ibn Muʿādh asked his Lord for it, and it remained with him until he left this world. (2)

Saʿd had two sons, ʿAbd Allāh and ʿAmr; ʿAmr had nine children.
