Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) says that he used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was very pleased with his service. Therefore, on one occasion, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was told:“Abu Bakr! Free Sa’d.”He submitted:“O Messenger of Allah! We have no one else to do the household work.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Free Sa’d, soon captives will come to you.”
