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.

Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib said that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: when a servant (of Allah) prostrates himself, the seven limbs, i. e, his face, his palms, his knees and his feet prostrate along with him.

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.

Dawud bin Amir bin Saad bin Abi Waqqas said that his father Amir bin Saad was with Ibn Umar bin al-Khattab when Khabbab, the owner of the closet (maqsurah), came and said: Abdullah bin Umar dont you hear what Abu Hurairah says ? He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If anyone goes out of his house, accompanies bier and prays over it. . . . He then mentioned the rest of the tradition as narrated by Sufyan. Thereupon Ibn Umar sent someone to Aishah (asking her about it). She replied: Abu Hurairah spoke the truth.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Said al-Khudri through a different chain of narrators from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the same effect as narrated by both Sufyan and Abd al-Razzaq.

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.

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.

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.
