The Prophet ﷺ was a merciful teacher, a kind educator and giver of discipline, and a forbearing mentor. Whenever he ﷺ saw one of his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them)making a mistake, he ﷺ would kindly correct him and guide him to what is good and right. In this hadeeth, Mus‘ab ibn Sa‘d(may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Sa‘d ibn AbeeWaqqaas(may Allah be pleased with them) thought that he was superior to those who were below him in rank, thanks to his physical strength and courage on the battlefield. On that, the Prophetﷺ reminded him of the virtues of those who were below him in rank, andthat Allah, Exalted is He, grants Muslims victory and livelihood because of the blessings and invocations of the poor amongst them. Allah, Exalted is He, bestows upon Muslims triumph over their enemies by means of the strength and courage of the strong Muslim fighters, and He also confers upon him victory because of the supplication of the weak Muslims and their submission to Him. This is because their worship and invocationsare characterized by sincerity and devotion, for their hearts are not attached to any of the (alluring) worldly pleasures and luxuries, and their consciences are clear. Such people seek after realizing one main purpose; the Hereafter (and they are not caught up in the worldly life). The Prophet ﷺ wanted to urge Sa‘d(may Allah be pleased with him) to embody humbleness and warn the believers against arrogance and conceit, lest these things should find their way to their hearts, driving them to look down on any of their fellow Muslims (who may be lower than them in rank). It is deduced from the hadeeth that Muslims should value the supplication of their weak fellow Muslims to be blessed with victory over their enemies, because victory is a blessing conferred by Allah, Exalted is He, upon Muslims. They must not rely merely on their military strength, heroism, and courage. Rather, they should duly rely on Allah, Exalted is He, and invoke and implore Him abundantly..
