Hadith 91

91 صحيح حديث سَعْدٍ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى رَهْطًا وَسَعْدٌ جَالِسٌ، فَتَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلاً هُوَ أَعْجَبُهُمْ إِلَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلاَنٍ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لأَرَاهُ مُؤْمِنًا، فَقَالَ: أَوْ مُسْلِمًا فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ فَعُدْتُ لِمَقَالَتِي فَقُلْتُ: مَا لَكَ عَنْ فُلاَنٍ فَوَاللهِ إِنِّي لأَرَاهُ مُؤمِنًا فَقَالَ: أَوْ مُسْلِمًا فَسَكَتُّ قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ غَلَبَنِي مَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ، فَعُدْتُ لِمَقَالَتِي، وَعَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا سَعْدُ إِنِّي لأُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ، وَغَيْرُهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ، خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَكُبَّهُ اللهُ فِي النَّارِ
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave some people a gift, and Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) was present there. (He says:) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give anything to one of them, even though he was the most beloved to me among them. I said, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you did not give anything to so-and-so, even though I consider him to be a believer.” He said, “A believer or a Muslim?” I remained silent for a while, then my thoughts compelled me to speak again about him, and I said, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you did not give anything to so-and-so, and by Allah, according to what I have observed, he is a believer.” He said, “A believer or a Muslim?” I remained silent for a while, then once again, due to my knowledge, I began to repeat my earlier statement. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also repeated his answer. Then he said, “O Sa’d, even though a person is more beloved to me (still, by overlooking him) I give this wealth to someone else out of fear that (due to his weakness) he may turn away from Islam, and Allah may throw him on his face into the Fire.”

Brief Explanation
Hadith Narrator: The kunyah of Sayyiduna Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas radi Allahu anhu is Abu Ishaq. He was a very brave Companion. He is among the ‘Asharah Mubasharah (the ten Companions given glad tidings of Paradise). He was the first person in the Ummah of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who shot an arrow in the path of Allah. He participated in the Battle of Badr and defended the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He is the eminent Companion to whom the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Sa'd, keep shooting arrows, may my parents be sacrificed for you,” and he also said, “O Allah, accept Sa'd’s supplication whenever he prays.” He narrated 270 ahadith. Among the ‘Asharah Mubasharah, he was the last to pass away, in 55 AH at the age of seventy, at the place of ‘Ateeq, and was buried in Jannat al-Baqi‘.
