Sa'd did not pay allegiance to 'Umar during his caliphate, either. Even though the second caliph insisted on him pledging allegiance to him, it bore no fruit. It is reported that the strength and power of Sa'd's tribe prevented 'Umar's government from reaching him. | Sa'd did not pay allegiance to 'Umar during his caliphate, either.

One day, Sa'd's son advised 'Umar, "Sa'd has sworn to never pledge allegiance to you and you too, cannot forcibly take allegiance from him unless you kill him! Know this that killing him will be equal to killing the tribe of Khazraj and killing the tribe of Khazraj will be like killing the tribe of Aws and killing the tribe of Aws will be like killing the core of Yemen, and this shall not be possible for you so leave him alone." | One day, Sa'd's son advised 'Umar, "Sa'd has sworn to never pledge allegiance to you and you too, cannot forcibly take allegiance from him unless you kill him!
