Musnad Abu Ishaq Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas

It was narrated from Hamzah bin ‘Abdullah, from his father, that Sa’d said:

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out on the campaign to Tabook, he left ‘Ali in charge. [’Ali] said to him: Are you leaving me behind? He said: "Does it not please you to be to me as Haroon was to Moosa? Except that there is no Prophet (ﷺ) after me."

Isma"eel bin Muhammad narrated from ‘Amir bin Sa"d that Sa"d said when he was sick:

If I die, make a lahd (niche) for me and do what was done for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

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’d bin Malik said:

We did tawaf with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Some of us did seven circuits, some of us did eight and some others did more than that, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "It does not matter."

It was narrated that a son of Sa"d bin Abi Waqqas said: I heard my father say:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "Faith began as something strange and will go back to being as it began, so glad tidings to the strangers when the people become corrupt. By the One Whose hand is the soul of Abul-Qasim, faith will retreat between these two mosques as a snake retreats into its hole.”

It was narrated from Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:

One prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers elsewhere, except al-Masjid al-Haram."

“Amir bin Sa"d narrated that his father said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I declare sacred what is between the two lava fields of Madinah as Ibraheem declared his sanctuary sacred. Its leaves are not to be cut down and its game is not to be killed. Nobody leaves it for lack of interest in it, but Allah will replace him with someone better than him. Madinah is better for them if they but knew. No one wishes ill to them (people of Madinah) but Allah will cause him to melt as lead melts in the fire and as salt dissolves in water.”

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

I said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Which people are most severely tested? He said: “The Prophet (ﷺ)s, 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 he will be tested in accordance with his level of religious commitment. Tests will continue to befall a slave [of Allah] until he walks upon the face of the earth with not a single sin on him."

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

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say to ["Ali], when he left him in charge [of Madinah] during one of his campaigns. ‘Ali said: O Messenger of Allah, are you leaving me behind with the women and children? He said: "Does it not please you to be to me as Haroon was to Moosa, except there will be no Prophet (ﷺ) after me?" And I heard him say on the day of Khaibar: "I shall certainly give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him." We all hoped for it, but he said: "Call "Ali for me.” He was brought, and he had a sore eye. [The Prophet (ﷺ) ] spat in his eye and gave the banner to him, and Allah granted victory at his hands. And when this verse was revealed: "let us call our sons and your sons" (Al-"Imran 3:61], the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called "Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husain, (رضي الله عنه) and said: "O Allah, these are my family.”

It was narrated from Busr bin Sa"eed that Sa"d bin Abi Waqqas said,

at the time of the turmoil surrounding "Uthman bin "Affan: "There will be turmoil in which the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running. He said: How about if he enters upon me in my house and stretches out his hand wanting to kill me? He said: "Be like the son of Adam.”

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

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to al-"Abbas; “This is al-"Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib, the most generous of Quraish and the one who most upholds ties of kinship."

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

A Bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: O Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah, teach me some words to say. He said: “Say: "There is no God but Allah alone, with no partner or associate; Allah is most great, much praise be to Allah, glory be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, there is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Almighty, Most Wise.” He said: This is for my Lord; what is there for me? He said: "Say: ‘O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me and grant me provision.”

It was narrated from Mus"ab bin Sa"d: My father told me:

We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: "Will one of you be incapable of earning one thousand hasanahs every day?" One of the people sitting with him asked him: O Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah, how could one of us earn one thousand hasanahs? He said: “He says tasbeeh one hundred times, and it will be recorded as one thousand hasanahs[good deeds] or will erase one thousand sayyi"ahs (bad deeds)."

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

We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: "Will one of you be incapable of earning one thousand hasanahs every day?" One of the people sitting with him asked him. O Messenger of Allah, how could one of us earn one thousand hasanahs every day? He said: "He says tasbeeh one hundred times, and it will be recorded as one thousand hasanahs (good deeds] or will erase one thousand sayyi"ahs (bad deeds).”

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.
