Quiz Time (64) Which Sahabi was considered & supported by "Ansaar" to be next successive authority after Prophet (pbuh) Death?

 

 

Ans:  Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubaadah(R.a)

 

He is Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubaadah, May Allah Be Pleased with him, the chief of the Khazraj, and the carrier of the banner of the Ansaar. His mother is ‘Amrah bint Mas’ood. He was nicknamed Abu Thaabit and Abu Qays. He embraced Islam very early, and attended the second ‘Aqabah Pledge of Allegiance along with seventy men and two women from among the Ansaar, and was among the twelve leaders.

Although Sa‘d, May Allah Be Pleased with him, was the chief of his people, his position did not protect him from the harm of the Quraysh. After the second ‘Aqabah Pledge of Allegiance was over, and the Ansaar got ready for the journey of return to Al-Madeenah, the Quraysh learnt about the pledge of allegiance they gave to the Messenger of Allah and their agreement with him on his migration to Al-Madeenah in order to support him against the forces of the Quraysh. They were furious and pursued the Muslims and succeeded to catch hold of Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubaadah. They tied his hands to his neck and brought him to Makkah, turned round him, and beat him, troubling him with the most severe harm

A man from among the Ansaar might host one, two or three (maximum), whereas he used to host as many as eighty. His caller used to ascend the roof of the house and call at the top of his voice: “Whoever likes fat and meat, let him come here.” The Messenger of Allah supplicated Allah for him saying: “O Allah! Confer Your blessings and mercy upon the family of Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubaadah.” [Ahmad]

The situation of Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubaadah, May Allah Be Pleased with him, on the Day of Badr indicated his courage. The Messenger of Allah sought the counsel of the Ansaar, thereupon Sa‘d, May Allah Be Pleased with him, stood and encouraged fighting. He said: “O Messenger of Allah! If you order us to set out to Bark Al-Ghimaad, we would surely do.” [Ahmad and Muslim]

After the death of the Messenger of Allah the Ansaar gathered in the shed of Bani Saa‘idah, and supported Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubaadah, calling that the successive authority of the Messenger of Allah be from among the Ansaar. But ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattaab and Abu ‘Ubaydah ibn Al-Jarraah, May Allah Be Pleased with them, saw that Abu Bakr, May Allah Be Pleased with him, had more right of the successive authority after the Messenger of Allah and the Muslims concurred, and Sa‘d gave Abu Bakr the pledge of allegiance for the caliphate.

He died during the caliphate of ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattaab, May Allah Be Pleased with him.
