Ibn Abi Najih says that once I asked Tawus, if a person, while stoning the Jamarat, throws six pebbles at a Jamrah instead of seven, what is the ruling? He said that he should give charity equal to a handful of wheat. After that, I met Mujahid and asked him the same question and also mentioned Tawus's answer. He said, "May Allah have mercy on them, have they not heard this hadith of Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the Hajj we performed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), after stoning the Jamarat, when we sat down and started talking among ourselves, someone said, 'I threw six pebbles,' someone said, 'seven,' someone said, 'eight,' and someone said, 'nine,' but he (the Prophet) did not consider there to be any harm in it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he became ill in Makkah Mukarramah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit him. He said: O Messenger of Allah! I fear that I may die in this land from which I had migrated, just as happened with Sa’d bin Khawlah. So please pray to Allah for my health. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times:“O Allah! Grant Sa’d healing.”Then 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.”He asked about bequeathing two-thirds of his wealth, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again forbade it. He asked about half, and he was still forbidden. Then when he asked about one-third, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Yes! You may bequeath one-third, and even one-third is a lot. Remember! Whatever you spend on yourself is charity, whatever you spend on your family is charity, whatever you spend on your wife is charity. And that you leave your family in a good state is much better than leaving them in such a state that they are forced to beg from people.”

Aamir bin Sa’d says that once his brother Umar went out from Madinah Munawwarah to visit Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) at his goat farm. When Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him, he became worried (thinking, may Allah bring good, perhaps he has brought some important news), and said:“I seek Allah’s protection from any bad news this rider may have.”When he came near, he said:“Father! People in Madinah Munawwarah are disputing about the government, and you are absorbed with your goats like villagers?”Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) struck his chest and said:“Be quiet! I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘Allah loves the servant who is pious, self-sufficient, and keeps himself hidden.’”

Ibn Muammar says that once ‘Amir bin Sa’d narrated this hadith to ‘Umar bin ‘Abd al-‘Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him)—while he was the governor of Madinah—from his father, Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Whoever in the morning, on an empty stomach, eats seven ‘ajwah dates from anywhere between the two sides of Madinah, nothing will harm him that day until evening.”The narrator thinks that he also said:“If he eats them in the evening, nothing will harm him until morning.”‘Umar bin ‘Abd al-‘Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) said:“Amir! Think carefully about what hadith you are narrating from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)!”He said:“I bear witness that I am not lying about Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), and that Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) did not lie about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).”

Aamir bin Sa’d narrates that once Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) was riding his mount and heading towards his palace in the valley of ‘Aqiq. When he arrived there, he saw a slave cutting down a tree. He seized all the wood and other things (that the slave had cut). When Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) returned, the owners of the slave came to him and asked him to return what he had taken from the slave. He said,“Should I return what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has given me? Allah’s refuge!”And with this, he refused to return those things. Benefit: Its explanation is coming soon in Hadith number 1460.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“It is from the good fortune of the son of Adam that he seeks guidance from Allah (Istikhara) in every matter, and is content with His decision. And it is from the misfortune of the son of Adam that he abandons seeking guidance from Allah and expresses displeasure at Allah’s decision.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Three things are signs of the good fortune of the son of Adam, and three things are signs of his misfortune. The good fortune of the son of Adam is that he gets a righteous wife, a good residence, and a fine mount, while his misfortune is that he gets a bad wife, a bad residence, and a bad mount.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“A time of tribulations will soon come; in that time, the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running.”And perhaps he also said:“The one who is lying down will be better than the one who is sitting.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Banu Najiyah were mentioned before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said, "I am from them and they are from me."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Banu Najiyah were mentioned before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said, "I am from them and they are from me."
