Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I never heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) combine his parents for anyone except Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him). On the day of the Battle of Uhud, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was saying to Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), “Sa’d! Shoot the arrow, may my parents be sacrificed for you.”
