(Friday Sermon - August 17, 2018 )

According to some people he was the freed slave of ibn Abi Ruham bin Abdul Uzzah Aamri. He accepted Islam and is now considered amongst the early companions. He was amongst the second group of people who migrated to Ethiopia. Hazrat Sa‘d bin Khaulah stayed with Hazrat Kulthum bin Hazm during his migration from Mecca to Medina. Ibn-e-Ishaaq Musa Uqbah has included him amongst those who participated in the Battle of Badr. Hazrat Sa‘d bin Khaulah was twenty-five years old when he participated in the Battle of Badr. He also took part in the Battle of Uhud, Khandaq and the treaty of Hudaibiya. He was the husband of Hazrat Subayah Asalmiyah. He passed away during Hajjatul Wada. His son was born some time after his demise so the Holy Prophet^(sa) said to his wife: “After the birth of this child, you can now marry anyone you like.” Apart from Tibri, no one has disagreed about his demise during Hajjatul Wada. According to Tibri he passed away before Hajjatul Wada.
