Hadith 3728
حَدَّثَنَا
عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ
إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ
قَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
سَعْدًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنِّي لَأَوَّلُ الْعَرَبِ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , وَكُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا يَضَعُ الْبَعِيرُ أَوِ الشَّاةُ مَا لَهُ خِلْطٌ ، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ تُعَزِّرُنِي عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ لَقَدْ خِبْتُ إِذًا وَضَلَّ عَمَلِي " , وَكَانُوا وَشَوْا بِهِ إِلَى عُمَر , قَالُوا : لَا يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي .
Narrated Qais: I heard Sa`d 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 together. Today Banu Asad tribe blame me for not having understood Islam. I would be a loser if my deeds were in vain." Those people complained about Sa`d to `Umar, claiming that he did not offer his prayers perfectly.
