THE TRUE SUPPORTER OF ISLAM - Sa'd bin Mu'adh; GOLDEN STORIES OF THE PROPHET'S COMPANIONS

Sa'd bin Mu'adh (ra) was the chief of the Bani Abdul Ash-hal clan, a branch of Al ­Khazraj tribe. He was a man of dignity, honor, wisdom and courage. He was among the bitter enemies of Islam, but when he accepted Islam, he devoted himself to defend it. He supported Islam with his wealth, bravery, wisdom and all his might so much so that up till today he is said to be 'The True Supporter of Islam'. When he died, the angels welcomed his soul in the best manner, and his body was emitting the nice smell of musk.
