Sa'd ibn Ubadah
Muhammad died in June 632. The question immediately arose as to who should become the new leader of the Muslims. Sa'd ibn Ubadah, as the most important Khazraj chief, was the obvious choice for the "Ansar". He was ill, but they gathered around him in a public hall belonging to the Sa'ida clan before Muhammad had even been buried. As Sa'd lay wrapped in blankets, they gave allegiance to him.
