On the day of Qadisiyyah, Abu Mihjan Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought to Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) for drinking wine, so he ordered him to be chained. Sa’d was wounded and did not go out to the battlefield. Abu Mihjan said to Sa’d’s wife: “Set me free; if I return safely, I will come back and be imprisoned again, and if I am killed, you will be relieved of me.” She released him, he mounted Sa’d’s horse and fought until the enemy was defeated. Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “By Allah, after today I will not punish the man through whom Allah granted victory to the Muslims.” Then Abu Mihjan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Now I will never drink wine again.”
