It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turning (his head) to the right and to the left while saying salam.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, I saw a man who was protecting himself with a shield; sometimes he would raise the shield above his nose, sometimes lower it. Seeing this, I turned my attention to my quiver, took out a blood-stained arrow from it, and fitted it to the bow. When he lowered the shield, I aimed and shot the arrow at him. Before that, I did not forget to fit the wooden shaft of the arrow. As soon as the arrow struck, he fell down and his legs went up. Seeing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed so much that his blessed teeth became visible. I asked the reason for this, and he replied: "Because of that man's action."

Mus'ab says that Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to emphasize these five words and would narrate them from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): «اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْبُخْلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْجُبْنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُرَدَّ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ» "O Allah! I seek refuge in You from miserliness and stinginess, I seek refuge in You from cowardice, I seek refuge in You from being returned to a decrepit old age, I seek refuge in You from the trials of the world, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave."

Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once I swore by Lat and ‘Uzza. My companions said to me,“You have uttered an improper thing.”I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said,“I have only recently accepted Islam, and an oath by Lat and ‘Uzza slipped from my tongue.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Say this three times: «لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ» , and spit lightly to your left three times, and recite «اَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰهِ» , and do not say such things again.”

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:“The best remembrance is that which is hidden, and the best provision is that which suffices.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to enter the house. At that time, some women of the Quraysh were sitting with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and talking, and their voices were raised. But when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was granted permission to enter, all of them quickly adjusted their veils. When he entered, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was smiling. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! May Allah always keep you smiling and happy; may my parents be sacrificed for you. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "I am amazed at these women who were sitting with me just now, but as soon as they heard your voice, they quickly observed hijab." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards them and said: O enemies of your own souls! By Allah! The Prophet (peace be upon him) is more deserving that you fear him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Umar! Leave them, for by Allah! Whenever Satan sees you walking on a path, he leaves that path and takes another."

The last hadith of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him.
