Saad bin Abi Waqqas reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone says when he hears the MuadhDHIN: “And I testify that there is no god but Allah alone who has no partner and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger: I am satisfied with Allah as lord, with Muhammad as Messenger and with Islam as religion”, he will be forgiven.

Jabir bin Samurah reported: Umar said to Saad: people complain against you for everything, even for prayer. He replied: I prolong the first two rak’ahs of prayer and make the last two rak’ahs brief; I do not fall short of following the prayer offered by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: I think so about you.

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: (The narrator Qutaibah said: This tradition has been narrated by Saeed bin Abu Saeed in my collection): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who does not chant the Quran is not one of us.

This tradition has also been transmitted by Saad (b. Abi Waqqas) from the Prophet ﷺ in a similar manner through a different chain of narrators.

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: Ibn Saad said: My father (Saad ibn Abu Waqqas) heard me say: O Allah, I ask Thee for Paradise, its blessings, its pleasure and such-and-such, and such-and-such; I seek refuge in Thee from Hell, from its chains, from its collars, and from such-and-such, and from such-and-such. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There will be people who will exaggerate in supplication. You should not be one of them. If you are granted Paradise, you will be granted all what is good therein; if you are protected from Hell, you will be protected from what is evil therein.

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: The Prophet ﷺ passed by me while I was supplicating by pointing with two fingers of mine. He said: Point with one finger; point with one finger. He then himself pointed with the forefinger.

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: Once Saad, with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, visited a woman in front of whom were some date-stones or pebbles which she was using as a rosary to glorify Allah. He (the Prophet) said: I tell you something which would be easier (or more excellent) for you than that. He said (it consisted of saying): "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created in Heaven; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created on Earth; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He has created between them; "Glory be to Allah" as many times as the number of that which He is creating; "Allah is most great" a similar number of times; "Praise (be to Allah)" a similar number of times; and "There is no god but Allah" a similar number of times; "There is no might and no power except in Allah" a similar number of times.

Saad said When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the oath of allegiance from woman, a woman of high rank, who seemed to be one of the women of Mudar, rose and said Prophet of Allah ﷺ, we are dependant on our parents, our sons. (Abu Dawud said I think (this version) has the word “ and our husbands”. ) So what part of their property can be spent lawfully? He said Fresh food which you eat and give as a present. Abu Dawud said The Arabic word ratb means bread, vegetables and fresh dates. Abu Dawud said Al-Thawri transmitted from Yunus in a similar manner.

Narrated Saad ibn Abi Waqqas: When the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him0 undertook his journey by the way of al-Far', he shouted talbiyah when his mount stood up with him on its back. But when he travelled by the way of Uhud, he raised his voice in Talbiyah when he ascended the hill of al-Bayda'.

Narrated Sulayman ibn Abu Abdullah: Sulayman ibn Abu Abdullah said: I saw Saad ibn Abu Waqqas seized a man hunting in the sacred territory of Madina which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had declared to be sacred. He took away his clothes from him. His patrons came to him and spoke to him about it, but he replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared this territory to be sacred, saying: If anyone catches someone hunting in it he should take away from him his clothes. So I shall not return to you a provision which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has given me, but if you wish I shall pay you its price.

A client of Saad said “Saad found some slaves from the slaves of Madina cutting the trees of Madina. ” So, he took away their property and said to their patrons “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibiting to cut any tree of Madina”. He said “If anyone cuts any one of them, what is taken from him will belong to the one who seizes him. ”

Narrated Saad: On the day when Makkah was conquered, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave protection to the People except four men and two women and he named them. Ibn Abu Sarh was one of them. He then narrated the tradition. He said: Ibn Abu Sarh hid himself with Uthman ibn Affan. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called the people to take the oath of allegiance, he brought him and made him stand before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Messenger of Allah, receive the oath of allegiance from him. He raised his head and looked at him thrice, denying him every time. After the third time he received his oath. He then turned to his Companions and said: Is not there any intelligent man among you who would stand to this (man) when he saw me desisting from receiving the oath of allegiance, and kill him? They replied: We do not know, Messenger of Allah, what lies in your heart; did you not give us an hint with your eye? He said: It is not proper for a Prophet to have a treacherous eye. Abu Dawud said: Abdullah (bin Abi Sarh) was the foster brother of Uthman, and Walid bin Uqbah was his brother by mother, and Uthman inflicted on him hadd punishment when he drank wine.

Musab bin Saad reported on the authority of his father (Saad bin Abi Waqqas) “I brought a sword to the Prophet ﷺ on the day of the Badr and I said (to him) Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Allaah has healed up my breast from the enemy today, so give me this sword. He said “This sword is neither mine nor yours. I then went away saying “today this will be given to a man who has not been put to trial like me. Meanwhile a messenger and came to me and said “Respond, I thought something was revealed about me owing to my speech. I came and the Prophet ﷺ said to me “You asked me for this sword, but this was neither mine nor yours. Now Allaah has given it to me, hence it is yours. He then recited “they ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say “ (Such) spoils are at the disposal of Allaah and the Messenger. Abu Dawud said “According to the reading of the Quran of Ibn Masud the verse goes. They ask thee concerning (things taken as ) spoils of war.

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Makkah making for Madina. When we were near Azwara', he alighted, then raised his hands, and made supplication to Allah for a time, after which he prostrated himself, remaining a long time in prostration. Then he stood up and raised his hands for a time, after which he prostrated himself, remaining a long time in prostration. He then stood up and raised his hands for a time, after which he prostrated himself. Ahmad mentioned it three times. He then said: I begged my Lord and made intercession for my people, and He gave me a third of my people, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord. Then I raised my head and begged my Lord for my people, and He gave me a third of my people, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord. Then I raised my head and begged my Lord for my people and He gave me the remaining third, so I prostrated myself in gratitude to my Lord. Abu Dawud said: When Ahmad bin Salih narrated this tradition to us, he omitted the name of Ashath bin Ishaq, but Musa bin Sahl al-Ramli narrated it to us through him.

Narrated Amir bin Saad: On the authority of his father (Saad bin Abi Waqqas): When he (Saad) fell ill at Makkah (according to the version of Ibn Abi Kkalaf) - then the agreed version has: which brought him near to death - the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to visit him. He said: Messenger of Allah, I have a large amount of property, and my daughter is my only heir. May I give two-thirds (of my property) as a sadaqah (charity)? He said: No. He asked: Then a half ? He replied: No. He asked: Then one-third ? He replied: (You may will away) a third and third is a lot. To leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor begging from people. You will not spend anything, seeking thereby to please Allah, without being rewarded for it, even the mouthful you give your wife. I said: Messenger of Allah, shall I be left behind form immigration (to Madina)? He said: If you remain behind after me and do good works seeking the pleasure of Allah, your rank will be raised and degree increased. Perhaps you will not remain behind, and some people will benefit from you and others will be harmed by you. He then said: O Allah, complete the immigration of my Companions and do not turn them back. But miserable was Saad bin Khawlah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lamented on him as he died at Makkah.

Narrated Malik bin Aws bin Al-Hadathan: Umar sent for me when the day rose high. I found him sitting on a couch without cover. When I entered upon him, he said: Malik, some people of you tribe gradually came here, and I have ordered to give them something, so distribute it among them. I said: If you assigned this (work) to some other person, (it would be better). He said: Take it. Then Yarfa' came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful, will you permit Uthman bin Affan, Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, al-Zubair bin al-'Awwam, and Saad b, Abi Waqqas (to enter) ? He said: Yes. So he permitted them and they entered. Yarfa' again came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful, would you permit al-Abbas and Ali ? He said: Yes. He then permitted them and they entered. Al-Abbas said: Commander of Faithful, decide between me and this, referring to Ali. Some of them said: Yes, Commander of the Faithful, decide between them and give them comfort. Malik bin Aws said: It occurred to me that both of them brought the other people for this. Umar said: Show patience (do not make haste). He then turned towards those people and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited whatever we leave is sadaqah (alms). They said: Yes. He then turned towards Ali and al-Abbas and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited whatever we leave is sadaqah (alms). They said: Yes. He then said: Allah has appointed for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a special portion (in the booty) which he did not do for anyone. Allah, Most High, said: What Allah has bestowed on His Messenger (and taken away) from them - for this ye made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry. But Allah gives power to His Messengers over any He pleases ; and Allah has power over all things". Allah bestowed (the property of) Banu al-Nadir on His Messenger. I swear by Allah, he did not reserve it for himself, nor did he take it over and above you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to his share for his maintenance annually, or used to take his contribution and give his family their annual contribution (from this property), then take what remained and deal with it as he did with Allah's property. He then turned towards those people and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that ? They said: Yes. He then turned towards Ali and al-Abbas and said: I adjure you by Allah by Whose order the heaven and earth stand. Do you know that ? They said: Yes. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, Abu Bakr said: I am the protector of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Then you and this (Ali) came to Abu Bakr, demanding a share from the inheritance of your cousin, and this (Ali) demanding the share of his wife from (the property of her) father. Abu Bakr then said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah. Allah knows that he (Abu Bakr) was true, faithful, rightly-guided, and the follower of Triuth. Abu Bakr then administered it (property of the Prophet). When Abu Bakr died, I said: I am the protector of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr. So I administered whatever Allah wished. Then you and this (Ali) came. Both of you are at one, and your matter is the same. So they asked me for it (property), and I said: If you wish I give it to you on condition that you are bound by the covenant of Allah, meaning that you will administer it as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to administer. So you took it from me on that condition. Then again you have come to me so that I decide between you other than that. I swear by Allah, I shall not decide between you other than that till the Last Hour comes. If you helpless, return it to me. Abu Dawud said: They asked him for making it half between them, and not that they were ignorant of the fact the Prophet ﷺ said: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah (alms). They were also seeking the truth. Umar then said: I do not apply the name of division to it ; It leave it on its former condition.

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: AbulBakhtari said: I heard from a man a tradition which I liked. I said to him: Write it down for me. So he brought it clearly written to me. (It says): Al-Abbas and Ali entered upon Umar when Talhah, az-Zubayr, Abdur Rahman and Saad were with him. They (Abbas and Ali) were disputing. Umar said to Talhah, az-Zubayr, Abdur Rahman and Saad: Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: All the property of the Prophet ﷺ is sadaqah (alms), except what he provided for his family for their sustenance and their clothing. We are not to be inherited. They said: Yes, indeed. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend from his property on his family, and give the residue as sadaqah (alms). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then died, and Abu Bakr ruled for two years. He would deal with it in the same manner as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did. He then mentioned a little from the tradition of Malik ibn Aws.

Narrated Aishah daughter of Saad: That her father said: I had a complaint at Makkah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to pay a sick-visit to me. He put his hand on my forehead, wiped my chest and belly, and then said: O Allah! heal up Saad and complete his immigration.

Zayd Abu Ayyash asked Saad ibn Abi Waqqas about the sale of the soft and white kind of wheat for barley. Saad said: Which of them is better? He replied: Soft and white kind of wheat. So he forbade him from it and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sawa) say, when he was asked about buying dry dates for fresh. The Messenger of Allah (sawa) said: Are fresh dates diminished when they become dry? The (the people) replied: Yes. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade that. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Ismail bin Umayyah.

Narrated Saad ibn Abi Waqqas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade to sell fresh dates for dry dates when payment is made at a later date. Abu Dawud said: The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Saad (b. Abi Waqqas) from the Prophet ﷺ through a different chain of narrators in a similar way.

Narrated Saad: We used to lease land for what grew by the streamlets and for what was watered from them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us to do that, and commanded us to lease if for gold or silver.

Narrated Saad: I suffered from an illness. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to pay a visit to me. He put his hands between my nipples and I felt its coolness at my heart. He said: You are a man suffering from heart sickness. Go to al-Harith ibn Kaladah, brother of Thaqif. He is a man who gives medical treatment. He should take seven ajwah dates of Madina and grind them with their kernels, and then put them into your mouth.

Saad bin Abl Waqqas reported the prophet ﷺ as saying: He who has a morning meal of seven ‘Ajwah dates will not suffer from any harm that day through poison or magic.

Narrated Saad ibn Malik: The Prophet ﷺ said: There is no hamah, no infection and no evil omen; if there is in anything an evil omen, it is a house, a horse, and a woman.

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: I asked: Messenger of Allah! tell me if someone enters my house and extends his hands to kill me (what should I do?) The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: Be like the two sons of Adam. The narrator Yazid (ibn Khalid) then recited the verse: "If thou dost stretch they hand against me to slay me. " [5: 28]

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: The Prophet ﷺ said: I hope my community will not fail to maintain their position in the sight of their Lord if He delays them half a day. Saad was asked: How long is half a day? He said: It is five hundred years.

Narrated Saad ibn Abu Waqqas: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, Abdullah ibn Saad ibn Abu Sarh hid himself with Uthman ibn Affan. He brought him and made him stand before the Prophet ﷺ, and said: Accept the allegiance of Abdullah, Messenger of Allah! He raised his head and looked at him three times, refusing him each time, but accepted his allegiance after the third time. Then turning to his companions, he said: Was not there a wise man among you who would stand up to him when he saw that I had withheld my hand from accepting his allegiance, and kill him? They said: We did not know what you had in your heart, Messenger of Allah! Why did you not give us a signal with your eye? He said: It is not advisable for a Prophet to play deceptive tricks with the eyes.

Amir bin Saeed on his father’s authority reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The Muslim who offends most against the Muslims is he who enquires about something which has not been forbidden to men, and it is declared forbidden because of his enquiry.

Saad bin Abi Waqqas said: The Prophet ﷺ gave some people and did not give anything to a man of them. Saad said: Messenger of Allah! You gave so and so, so and so, but did not give anything to so and so while he is a believer. The Prophet ﷺ said: Or he is a Muslim. Saad repeated it thrice and the Prophet ﷺ then said: I give some people and leave him who is dearer to me than them. I do not give him anything fearing lest he should fall into Hell on his face.

Saad said: The Prophet ﷺ distributed (spoils) among the people I said to him: Give so and so for he is a believer. He said: Or he is a Muslim. I give a man something while another man is dearer to me than him, fearing that he may fall into Hell on his face.

Narrated Saad: The Prophet ﷺ said: There is hesitation in everything except in the actions of the next world.

Narrated Huzayl: A man came. Uthman's version has: Saad ibn Abu Waqqas came. He stood at the door. Uthman's version has: (He stood) facing the door. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: Away from it, (stand) this side or that side. Asking permission is meant to escape from the look of an eye.

A similar tradition has also been transmitted by Talhah bin Musarrif from a man from Saad from the prophet ﷺ through a different chain of narrators.

Amir bin Saad, quoting his father, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered a gecko to be killed, and calling it a noxious little creature.
