ahmad:12223Yazīd > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr > Wāqid b. ʿAmr b. Saʿd b. Muʿādh

[Machine] "Muhammad was praised as one of the best and greatest of people. He was also the tallest. He said, I entered upon Anas ibn Malik and he asked me, who are you? I said, I am Waaqid bin Amr bin Saad bin Mu'adh. Anas said, You resemble Saad and then he cried and wept a lot. He said, May the mercy of Allah be upon Saad. He was among the greatest and tallest of people. Then he said, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an army to Ukhaidir Dumat, and he sent to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a robe made of embroidered silk with gold in it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore it and stood on the pulpit or sat and did not speak. Then he descended and the people started touching the robe and looking at it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, Are you amazed by it? They said, We have never seen a garment better than it. The Prophet ﷺ said, The handkerchiefs of Saad bin Mu'adh in Jannah are better than what you see."  

أحمد:١٢٢٢٣حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي وَاقِدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ

مُحَمَّدٌ وَكَانَ وَاقِدٌ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ وَأَعْظَمِهِمْ وَأَطْوَلِهِمْ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ لِي مَنْ أَنْتَ؟ قُلْتُ أَنَا وَاقِدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ إِنَّكَ بِسَعْدٍ أَشْبَهُ ثُمَّبَكَى وَأَكْثَرَ الْبُكَاءَ فَقَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى سَعْدٍ كَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ النَّاسِ وَأَطْوَلِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَيْشًا إِلَى أُكَيْدِرَ دُومَةَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِجُبَّةٍ مِنْ دِيبَاجٍ مَنْسُوجٍ فِيهَا الذَّهَبُ فَلَبِسَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ أَوْ جَلَسَ فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَلْمِسُونَ الْجُبَّةَ وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهَا؟ قَالُوا مَا رَأَيْنَا ثَوْبًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَحْسَنُ مِمَّا تَرَوْنَ

nasai:5302al-Ḥasan b. Qazaʿah > Khālid / Ibn al-Ḥārith > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr > Wāqid b. ʿAmr b. Saʿd b. Muʿādh

"I entered upon Anas bin Malik when he came to Al-Madinah and greeted him with Salam. He said: 'Where are you from?' I said: 'I am Wafid bin 'Amr bin Sa'd bin Mu'adh.' He said: 'Sa'd was the greatest and most virtuous of people.' Then he wept a great deal, then he said: 'The Messenger of Allah [SAW] sent a delegation to Ukaidir the ruler of Dumah, who sent him a Jubbah made of Ad-Dibaj interwoven with gold. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] put it on, then he stood on the Minbar and sat, without speaking, then he came down and the people started touching it with their hands. He said: 'Are you admiring this? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd in Paradise are more beautiful than what you see.'"

"Anas bin Malik arrived. So I went to him and he said: 'Who are you ?' I said: 'I am Waqid bin 'Amr [bin Sa'd bin Ma'adh].'" He said: "So he began to cry and he said: 'You resemble Sa'd. Sa'd was one of the greatest people, and of the tallest. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sent a cloak of Dibaj with gold woven into it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wore it and ascended the Minbar. Then he stood, or sat, and the people began touching it, and they said: 'We never saw a garment like this before today.' So he said: 'Are you amazed at this ? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd in Paradise are better than what you see.'" He said: There is something on this topic from Asma' bint Abu Bakr. This Hadith is Sahih.
