Musnad Abu Ishaq Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas

Hisham narrated, from his father, from Sa"d, that

The Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon him to visit him when he was sick. He said: “O Messenger of Allah, shall bequeath all of my wealth (to charity)?” He said: “No." He said: “Half?” He said: "No." He said: “One third?” He said: "One third, and one third is a lot.”

It was narrated from "Amir bin Sa"d (رضي الله عنه) from his father, that

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: "Whatever you spend on your family of maintenance, you will be rewarded for, even the morsel that you lift to your wife"s mouth.”

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

“O Messenger of Allah, which people are most severely tested?” He said: "The prophets, then the righteous, then the next best and the next best. A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment: if his religious commitment is solid, his test will be greater and if there is some weakness in his religious commitment his test will be lighter. A slave [of Allah] will be tested until he walks upon the face of the earth with not a single sin on him."

It was narrated from Sa’d that:

The Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon him to visit him when he was sick in Makkah I (Sa"d) said: Messenger of Allah, should I bequeath all of my wealth (in charity)? He said: “No” I said. One half? He said: “No." I said: One third? He said: "One third, and one third is a lot. If you leave your heir independent of means, that is better than leaving him poor and having to ask people [for help]. Whatever you spend on your family of maintenance you will be rewarded for, even the morsel that you lift to your wife"s mouth.” On that day he only had one daughter. And Sa"d mentioned migration (Hijrah) and he [the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "May Allah have mercy on the son of ‘Afra", Perhaps Allah will extend your life so that He may benefit some people through you and harm others through you.”

It was narrated that Ziyad bin Mikhraq said: I heard Abu ‘Abayah narrate from a freed slave of Sa‘d that Sa"d heard a son of his making du’a and saying

O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and its delights and brocade... and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and its chains and fetters. He said: You have asked Allah for a great deal of good and you have sought refuge with Allah from a great deal of evil. But I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:"There will be people who will overstep the mark in du"a".“ And he recited this verse: "Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for Allah loves not those who trespass beyond bounds" [al-A"raf 7:55]. It is sufficient to say: O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and the words and deeds that will bring me close to it, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and the words and deeds that will bring me close to it.

It was narrated from ‘Amir bin Sa"d, that his father said The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to - Abu Sa’eed said:

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) - say salam to his right (turning so much) that the whiteness of his cheek could be seen, and to his left (turning so much) that the whiteness of his cheek could be seen.

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon him in Makkah when he was sick. He said: I have only one daughter, should I bequeath all of my wealth (to charity)? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “No." He said: Should I bequeath half of it? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “No." He said: Should l bequeath one third of it? He said: “One third, and one third is a lot."

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Sa’d bin Malik, from his father, that:

the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon him... and he narrated a similar report. And "Abdus-Samad said: "A lot," meaning one third.

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I am amazed at the decree of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, for the believer: if something good befalls him, he praises his Lord and gives thanks, and if calamity strikes him, he praises his Lord and bears it with patience. The believer will be rewarded for everything, even the morsel he lifts to his wife"s mouth."

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

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to visit him when he was sick in Makkah, and he did not want to die in the land from which he had migrated. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “May Allah have mercy on Sa"d bin ‘Afra", may Allah have mercy on Sa"d bin ’Afra"." He [Sa"d] only had one daughter, and he said: O Messenger of Allah, should I bequeath all of my wealth (to charity)? He said: “No." He said: Half of it? He said: "No.” He said: One third? He said: "One third, and one third is a lot. Leaving your heirs independent of means is better than leaving them in need and asking of people by stretching out their hands. Whatever you spend on maintenance is charity, even the morsel you lift to your wife"s mouth. Perhaps Allah will extend your life and benefit some people through you and harm others through you."

It was narrated that Sa’d said:

Make a lahd (niche) for me and block it up with bricks as was done for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

It was narrated that Sa"ed bin al-Musayyab said: I said to Sa’d bin Malik:

I want to ask you about a hadeeth, but I feel too shy to ask you about it. He said: Do not feel like that, O son of my brother. If you know that I have some knowledge then ask me about it and do not feel too shy of me. I said: What did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say to ‘Ali when he left him in charge of Madinah during the campaign to Tabook? Sa"d said: The Prophet (ﷺ) left Ali in charge of Madinah during the campaign to Tabook, and he [‘Ali] said: O Messenger of Allah, are you leaving me behind with those who are staying behind, the women and children? He said: “Does it not please you to be to me as Haroon was to Moosa?” He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. Then he turned and rushed back, and it is as if I can see the dust kicked up by his feet. And Hammad said: And ‘Ali went back quickly.

Yahya bin Sa"d said:

Mention of the plague was made in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: "That is a punishment that was sent against those who came before you. If it is in some land, do not enter it, and if it is in a land where you are, do not leave it."

It was narrated fromʻUmar bin Sa"d bin Abi Waqqas that his father said:

The Messenger of Allah said: "I am amazed at the decree of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, for the believer: if something good befalls him, he praises his Lord and gives thanks, and if calamity strikes him, he praises his Lord and bears it with patience. The believer will be rewarded for everything, even the morsel he lifts to his wife"s mouth.”

It was narrated that Sa’d bin Malik said: I Said:

O Messenger of Allah, the courageous man who shields others in battle, will his share and that of others be the same? He said: "May your mother be bereft of you, O son of Umm Sa’d! Are you given provision except by virtue of your weak ones?"

Mus"ab bin Sa"d narrated that Sa"d said:

I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): Which people are most severely tested? He said: "The Prophet (ﷺ), then the next best, then the next best. A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment: if his religious commitment is weak, he will be tested according to that; if his religious commitment is solid, he will be tested in accordance with that." He said: "A man will be tested until he walks upon the face of the earth with not a single sin on him.”

It was narrated that Sa’eed bin al-Musayyab said: Sa"d bin Malik said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned his father and mother together for me on the day of Uhud.

Mus"ab bin Sa"d narrated from Sa"d that

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Will one of you be incapable of earning one thousand hasanah in one day?” He said: Who is able to do that? He said: “He says tasbeeh one hundred times, and it will be recorded as one thousand hasanah (good deeds) and will erase one thousand sayyi"ahs (bad deeds)."

It was narrated that "Asim al-Ahwal said: I heard Abu ‘Uthman say: I heard Sa"d - who was the first one to shoot an arrow for the sake of Allah - and Abu Bakrah - who climbed the wall of the fortress of al-Ta"if with other people then came to the Prophet (ﷺ) - say:

We heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: “Whoever claims to belong to a father other than his father, knowing that he is not his father, Paradise will be forbidden to him."

It was narrated that Isma"eel said: l heard Qais bin Abi Hazim say: Sa"d said:

I was one of the first seven to embrace Islam with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and we had no food except the leaves of al-hublah (a desert tree), 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.
