Musnad of Abu Ishaq Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 1479
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ سَعْدٍ أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ يَعُودُهُ ، وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَا أُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قَالَ : فَبِالشَّطْرِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قَالَ : فَبِالثُّلُثِ ؟ قَالَ : " الثُّلُثُ ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ ، أَوْ كَثِيرٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he became ill, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to visit him. He said: O Messenger of Allah! Should I not bequeath all my wealth in the way of Allah? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “No.” He said: Should I bequeath half of my wealth? He said: “No.” He said: Should I bequeath one third of my wealth? He said: “Yes! Bequeath one third, and one third is also much.”
Hadith 1480
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ لَهُ : " إِنَّكَ مَهْمَا أَنْفَقْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ ، فَإِنَّكَ تُؤْجَرُ فِيهَا ، حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever you spend on your family, you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel that you put in your wife's mouth, you will be rewarded for that as well."
Hadith 1481
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلَاءً ؟ قَالَ : " الْأَنْبِيَاءُ ، ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ ، ثُمَّ الْأَمْثَلُ فَالْأَمْثَلُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، يُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ صَلَابَةٌ ، زِيدَ فِي بَلَائِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ رِقَّةٌ ، خُفِّفَ عَنْهُ ، وَمَا يَزَالُ الْبَلَاءُ بِالْعَبْدِ حَتَّى يَمْشِيَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Upon whom do the severest trials come? He said: “Upon the Prophets (peace be upon them), then upon the righteous, then upon people in order according to their ranks. A person is tested according to the strength of his religion; if his religion is strong, his trials are increased, and if there is weakness in his religion, his trials are lightened. And trials continue to befall a person until, when he walks upon the earth, there remains no sin upon him.”
Hadith 1482
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ وَسُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، وَقَالَ مِسْعَرٌ : عَنْ بَعْضِ آلِ سَعْدٍ , عَنْ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ يَعُودُهُ ، وَهُوَ مَرِيضٌ بِمَكَّةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قُلْتُ : فَبِالشَّطْرِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قُلْتُ : فَبِالثُّلُثِ ؟ قَالَ : " الثُّلُثُ ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَبِيرٌ ، أَوْ كَثِيرٌ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَدَعَ وَارِثَكَ غَنِيًّا ، خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُ فَقِيرًا يَتَكَفَّفُ النَّاسَ ، وَإِنَّكَ مَهْمَا أَنْفَقْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ ، فَإِنَّكَ تُؤْجَرُ فِيهَا ، حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ " , قَالَ : وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ ، فَذَكَرَ سَعْدٌ الْهِجْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ ابْنَ عَفْرَاءَ ، وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْفَعُكَ حَتَّى يَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ قَوْمٌ ، وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he became ill in Makkah Mukarramah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to visit him. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Can I bequeath all my wealth in the way of Allah? He said, “No.” I asked about half, and he still forbade it. Then when I asked about a third of my wealth, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Yes! You may bequeath a third, and a third is still a lot. Remember! If you leave your family in a good state, it is much better than leaving them in such a condition that they are forced to beg from people. Whatever you spend on yourself is charity, whatever you spend on your family is charity, and whatever you spend on your wife is also charity.” The narrator also says that at that time Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) had only one daughter. Then Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned migration, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “May Allah have mercy on Ibn Afra. It may be that Allah will raise you to such a high status that a people will benefit from you and others will be harmed.”
Hadith 1483
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ مِخْرَاقٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبَايَةَ ، عَنْ مَوْلًى لِسَعْدٍ , أَنَّ سَعْدًا سَمِعَ ابْنًا لَهُ يَدْعُو ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَنَعِيمَهَا وَإِسْتَبْرَقَهَا ، وَنَحْوًا مِنْ هَذَا ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَسَلَاسِلِهَا وَأَغْلَالِهَا , فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ اللَّهَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ، وَتَعَوَّذْتَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ كَثِيرٍ ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يَعْتَدُونَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ " , وَقَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ سورة الأعراف آية 55 ، وَإِنَّ بحَسْبَكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ ، وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ .
Once, Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) heard one of his sons making this supplication: “O Allah! I ask You for Paradise, its blessings, its silk garments, and such-and-such things, and I seek refuge with You from the Fire of Hell, its chains, and its shackles.” So he said to him, “You have asked Allah for great good and sought refuge with Him from great evil. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘A people will soon come who will exceed the limits in supplication.’” And he recited this verse: “«﴿ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ﴾ [الأعراف : 55]» ‘Call upon your Lord with humility and in secret. Surely, He does not like those who exceed the limits.’” It is sufficient for you to say: «اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ النَّارِ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ» “O Allah! I ask You for Paradise and for every word and deed that brings one closer to it, and I seek refuge with You from Hell and from every word and deed that brings one closer to it.”
Hadith 1484
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ , قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ، حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ ، وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the right side to say salam, his right cheek would be visible with its brightness, and when he turned to the left side to say salam, the whiteness of his left cheek would be seen.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he became ill in Makkah Mukarramah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to visit him. Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I have a lot of wealth, and my only heir is one daughter. Can I bequeath all my wealth in the way of Allah? He said: “No.” I asked about half, and he still forbade me. Then when I asked about a third of my wealth, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Yes! You may bequeath a third, and a third is still a lot.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I am amazed at the decree and decision of Allah regarding the believing servant: if any good comes to him, he gives thanks to his Lord, and if any calamity befalls him, he says «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ» and is patient (and both patience and gratitude are beloved to Allah). The believer is rewarded for everything, even for the morsel that he lifts and puts into his wife’s mouth.”
Hadith 1488
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ ، وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي هَاجَرَ مِنْهَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ سَعْدَ ابْنَ عَفْرَاءَ ، يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ سَعْدَ ابْنَ عَفْرَاءَ " , وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قَالَ : فَالنِّصْفُ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قَالَ : فَالثُّلُثُ ؟ قَالَ : " الثُّلُثُ ، وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَدَعَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ ، وَإِنَّكَ مَهْمَا أَنْفَقْتَ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ ، فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ ، حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ ، وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَكَ فَيَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ نَاسٌ ، وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he fell ill in Makkah Mukarramah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to visit him. He did not like the idea of dying in the land from which he had migrated. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said twice: “May Allah’s mercy descend upon Sa’d bin ‘Afra.” And he had only one daughter. Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Can I bequeath all my wealth in the way of Allah? He replied: “No.” He asked about half, but he was also forbidden. Then when he asked about a third of his wealth, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Yes! You may bequeath a third, and a third is still a lot. It is better that you leave your family in a good state than to leave them in such a condition that they are forced to beg from people. And whatever you spend, you will be rewarded for it as charity, even for the morsel that you lift and put into your wife’s mouth. And it may be that Allah will grant you a long life, and through you many people will benefit and many people (disbelievers) will be harmed.”

(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : الْحَدُوا لِي لَحْدًا ، وَانْصِبُوا عَلَيَّ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) stated in his final will that my grave should be made in the lahd (niche) style, and raw bricks should be placed over it just as was done with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
Hadith 1490
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ حَدِيثٍ ، وَأَنَا أَهَابُكَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ , فَقَالَ : لَا تَفْعَلْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي , إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عِنْدِي عِلْمًا فَسَلْنِي عَنْهُ وَلَا تَهَبْنِي , قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ حِينَ خَلَّفَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ , فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ : خَلَّفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَتُخَلِّفُنِي فِي الْخَالِفَةِ فِي النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ ؟ فَقَالَ : " أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى ؟ " , قَالَ : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , قَالَ : فَأَدْبَرَ عَلِيٌّ مُسْرِعًا كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى غُبَارِ قَدَمَيْهِ يَسْطَعُ , وَقَدْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ : فَرَجَعَ عَلِيٌّ مُسْرِعًا .
Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I said to Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I want to ask you about a hadith, but I feel afraid to ask you. He replied: Nephew! Do not do that. When you know that I have knowledge of something, then ask me freely and do not be afraid. I asked: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madinah Munawwarah as his deputy on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk, what did he say to him? Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) as his deputy in Madinah Munawwarah on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk and left him there, he (Ali) said: O Messenger of Allah! Will you leave me among children and women? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Are you not pleased that your relation to me is the same as that of Harun (peace be upon him) to Musa (peace be upon him) — except for Prophethood?” He (Ali) said: Why not, O Messenger of Allah! Upon this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) quickly returned, and even today I feel the dust rising from his footsteps before my eyes.
Hadith 1491
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : ذُكِرَ الطَّاعُونُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " رِجْزٌ أُصِيبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ ، فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا وَإِذَا كَانَ بِهَا وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا ، فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the plague was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is a punishment that was sent upon the nations before you. Therefore, if you hear of an outbreak of this epidemic in a land, do not go there, and if it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave from there."
Hadith 1492
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنِ الْعَيْزَارِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَجِبْتُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ ، إِذَا أَصَابَهُ خَيْرٌ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَشَكَرَ ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَصَبَرَ ، فَالْمُؤْمِنُ يُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ أَمْرِهِ ، حَتَّى يُؤْجَرَ فِي اللُّقْمَةِ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “I am amazed at the decree and decision of Allah regarding the believing servant: if any good comes to him, he gives thanks to his Lord, and if any calamity befalls him, he says «اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰه» and is patient (and both patience and gratitude are beloved to Allah).

A person is tested according to the strength of his religion; if his religion is strong, his trials are increased, and if there is weakness in his religion, his trials are lightened. And trials continue to befall a person until, when he walks upon the earth, there remains no sin upon him.”

One request I made was that my Ummah not be destroyed by drowning in the sea; Allah accepted this request of mine. The second request I made was that my Ummah not be destroyed by famine; Allah also accepted this request of mine. And the third request I made was that my Ummah not fight among themselves, but Allah did not grant this supplication.”

Umar bin Sa’d says that once I needed something from my father, Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him). Before stating his purpose, he gave a long and elaborate introduction, as is the habit of people. When he finished, Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Son! Have you finished your talk? I replied: Yes! He said: You are not very far from your need (I will fulfill your need), but ever since I heard this from you, I have lost interest in you. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “Soon there will come a people who will eat by the power of their tongues (eloquence), just as a cow eats from the earth with its tongue.”
Hadith 1518
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : شَكَا أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ سَعْدًا إِلَى عُمَرَ ، فَقَالُوا : لَا يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي , قَالَ : فَسَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي أُصَلِّي بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْكُدُ فِي الْأُولَيَيْنِ ، وَأَحْذِفُ فِي الْأُخْرَيَيْنِ , قَالَ : ذَلِكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that once the people of Kufa complained to Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) about Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), saying that he does not lead the prayer properly. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, and he replied, “I make the first two rak’ahs relatively long and the last two rak’ahs short, and in following the prayers I performed behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I do not fall short in any way.” Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “That is exactly what I expected from you.”
