Musnad Abu Ishaq Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas

It was narrated from Mus"ab bin Sa"d that his father said:

Four verses were revealed concerning me. One the day of Badr, I acquired a sword (as booty) and I said: O Messenger of Allah, grant it to me (in addition to my share of the booty). He said: "Put it down." Then he stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, give it to me, and he said: "Put it down.” Then he stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah, give it to me; shall I be treated like one who is of no use (in war)? He said: “Put it back where you got it from." Then this verse was revealed: "They ask you so Muhammad (ﷺ) about the spoils of war. Say: The spoils are for Allah and the Messenger” |al-Ansal 8:1]. A man of the Ansar made some food and invited us, and we drank wine until we got drunk. Then the Ansar and Quraish began to boast to one another. The Ansar said: We are better than you. Quraish said: We are better than you. An Ansari man picked up the jawbone of a camel and struck the nose of Sa"d with it, and Sa"d"s nose was cut. Then this verse was revealed: “O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansah (stone altars for sacrifices to idols etc), and Al-Azam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of shaitan’s (Satan"s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that abomination) in order that you may be successful. Shaitan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from As-Salah (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?" (al-Ma"idah 590,91]. The mother of Sa"d said: Didn"t Allah command you to honour your parents? By Allah, I shall not eat any food or drink anything untill die or you disbelieve in Muhammad, When they wanted to feed her, they opened her mouth with a stick and poured (food or water) into it. Then this verse was revealed: "And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents” [al-Ankaboot 29.8]. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon Sa"d to visit him when he was sick. He said: O Messenger of Allah, can I bequeath all my wealth (to charity)? He said: “No." He said: Two thirds of it? He said: "No." He said: One third? And he remained silent,

It was narrated from Sa’d bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“If the plague is in some land, do not go there , and if it is in a land where you are, do not flee from it.”

It was narrated from Sa’d bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said on the day of Uhud:

"Shoot him, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you!”

It was narrated from Yahya bin ‘Ubaid al-Bahrani that

Muhammad bin Sa"d used to do wudoo’ in az-Zawiyah. One day Muhammad bin Sa"d came out to us from the washroom, and he did wudoo" and wiped over his khuffalo. We were surprised and said: what is this? He said.:My father told me that he saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) do what I have done.

It was narrated that Qais said:

I heard Sa"d bin Malik say: By Allah, I was the first of the Arabs to shoot an arrow for the sake of Allah. We used to go out on campaign with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we would have no food except the leaves of al-hubah and as-samur (desert trees), and one of us would produce stools like a sheep, so dry that nothing stuck to it. And now Banu Asad are teaching me about my religion, in which case I must have been doomed and my efforts wasted

It was narrated from ‘Amir bin Sa"d that his father said:

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say salam to his right and to his left.

It was narrated from ‘Amir bin Sa"d that his father said:

On the day of al-Khandaq, there was a man who was shielding himself with his shield, doing something like this with it; he would put it over his nose, then do something like this, and then put it down. I stretched mу hand out towards my quiver and took out a bloodstained arrow, which I placed on the string of my bow. When he did something like this, and lowered his shield, I shot the arrow. I have never forgotten how it hit the shield, and he (the man) fell and started kicking with his foot. The Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah smiled-I (the narrator] think he said: so broadly that his eyeteeth could be seen- I said: Why? He said: Because of what that man did.

It was narrated that ‘AbdulMalik bin "Umair said: I heard Mus"ab bin Sa"d narrate from his father Sa"d bin Abi Waqqas that

he used to enjoin this supplication and narrate it from the Prophet (ﷺ) : "O Allah, I seek refuge with You from miserliness, I seek refuge with You from cowardice, I seek refuge with You from becoming senile, I seek refuge with You from the trials of this world, and I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave.

It was narrated from Mus"ab bin Sa"d bin Abi Waqqas, from his father, that

he swore by al-Laf and al-"Uzza, and his companions said to him: You have said something unseemly. So he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: I am newly Muslim, and I swore an oath by al-Lat and al‘Uzza. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: "Say La ilaha illallah wahdahu (there is no god but Allah alone) three times, and spit dryly to your left three times, and seek refuge with Allah from the Shaitan, and do not do it again."

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Abdur-Rahman bin Labeebah that Sa"d bin Malik said:

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: “The best of dhikr is that which is silent, and the best of provision is that which is just enough."

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Sa"d that his father said,

"Umar asked permission to enter upon the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and there were some women with him whose voices had drowned out his voice. He gave him permission to enter, and they hastened to leave. "Umar came in and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was smiling. ‘Umar said: May Allah make you happy all your life, O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you. He said: “I wonder at these women who were with me. When they heard your voice they hastened to leave," "Umar turned to them and said: O enemies of your souls, by Allah you should have feared the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) more than me. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Let them be, O ‘Umar. By Allah, the Shaitan: never meets you on a road but he takes a different road."
