Narrated Jabir Bin Samura: The People of Kufa complained against Saad to Umar and the latter dismissed him and appointed Ammar as their chief. They lodged many complaints against Saad and even they alleged that he did not pray properly. Umar sent for him and said; O Aba Ishaq! These people claim that you do not pray properly. Abu Ishaq said; By Allah; I used to pray with them a prayer similar to that of Allah Apostle and I never reduced anything of it. I used to prolong the first two rakat of Isha prayer and shorten the last two rakat. Umar said; O Aba Ishaq; this was what I thought about you. And then he sent one or more persons with him to Kufa so as to ask the people about him. So they went there and did not leave any Masjid without asking about him. All the people praised him till they came to the Masjid of the tribe of Bani Abs; one of the men called Usama Bin Qatada with a surname of Aba Sada stood up and said; As you have put us under an oath; I am bound to tell you that Saad never went himself with the army and never distributed the war booty equally and never did justice in legal verdicts. On hearing it Saad said; I pray to Allah for three things: O Allah! If this slave of yours is a liar and got up for showing off; give him a long life; increase his poverty and put him to trials. And so it happened. Later on when that person was asked how he was; he used to reply that he was an old man in trial as the result of Saad curse. Abdul Malik; the sub narrator; said that he had seen him afterwards and his eyebrows were overhanging his eyes owing to old age and he used to tease and assault the small girls in the way.
