مُسْنَدُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ
Musnad of Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 732 — I heard Sayyiduna Sa'd say: I am the first man
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا ، يَقُولُ : « إِنِّي لَأَوَّلُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا السَّمُرُ وَوَرَقُ الْحُبْلَةِ ، حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الْعَنْزُ ، مَا لَهُ خِلْطٌ » .
Qays bin Abi Hazim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "I am the first man among the Arabs to shoot an arrow in the path of Allah. And I have seen us (myself and my companions) with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a state where we had nothing to eat except (the fruit of) the acacia and the leaves of the hublah tree, so much so that one of us would pass droppings (when relieving himself) like a goat does, with no mixture in them."
