Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA)

أبو سعيد الخدري

d. c. 74 AH

Ansari companion and prolific narrator, who narrated the hadith that Ammar would be killed by the rebellious group and objected to Marwan moving the Eid sermon before the prayer.

Biography

Sa'd ibn Malik al-Khudri, an Ansari of Khazraj, was too young for Uhud but fought in later campaigns and narrated over a thousand hadith. He narrated the hadith of Ammar ('the rebellious group will kill him', Sahih Bukhari 447) and hadith about the Khawarij (Sahih Bukhari; Sahih Muslim).

Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim record him objecting when Marwan, governor of Madinah, gave the Eid sermon before the prayer.
