Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "I heard that Sad ibn Zurara cauterized himself because of a pain in the throat accompanied by blood and he died."  

مالك:٥٠-١٣ – وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي

أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ زُرَارَةَ اكْتَوَى فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الذُّبَحَةِ فَمَاتَ
