English Translation

Muhammad ibn Bishr told us, Muhammad ibn Amr told us, Yazid ibn Abdullah ibn Usamah ibn Yazid al-Laythi and Yahya ibn Sa'id told me, from Mu'adh ibn Rifa'ah al-Zuraqi, from Jabir ibn Abdullah, he said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "This is the righteous servant for whom the Throne shook and for whom the gates of heaven were opened" — [he had been] under pressure, and God relieved him of it. He said once: "were opened," and said once: "then God relieved him of it." He said once: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said this about Sa'd on the day he died, while he was being buried.
