Narrated Sad:
No doubt, (for some time) I stood for one-third of the Muslims.
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 73:
Narrated Sad bin Abi Waqqas:
No man embraced Islam before the day on which I embraced Islam, and no doubt, I remained for

Volume 5, Book 57, Number 74:
Narrated Qais:
I heard Sad saying, “I was the first amongst the ‘Arabs who shot an arrow for Allah’s Cause. We
used to fight along with the Prophets, while we had nothing to eat except the leaves of trees so that
one’s excrete would look like the excrete balls of camel or a sheep, containing nothing to mix them

citation of Tashah-hud. I heard him saying, “Then after! I married one of my daughters to Abu Al-‘As
bin Al-Rabi’ (the husband of Zainab, the daughter of the Prophet ) before Islam and he proved truth –
ful in whatever he said to me. No doubt, Fatima is a part of me, I hate to see her being troubled. By
Allah, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle and the daughter of Allah’s Enemy cannot be the wives of one
man.” So ‘Ali gave up that engagement.
‘Al-Miswar further said: I heard the Prophet talking and he mentioned a son-in-law of his be –
