Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I am the first person who shot an arrow in the path of Allah, and I remember about myself that I was the seventh individual to support the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). At that time, we had nothing to eat except leaves and such things, which used to make our mouths sore. To the extent that any one of us would defecate just as a goat drops pellets. There was nothing mixed in it (i.e., it was completely dry). Now,“Banu Asad”criticize me in religious matters; if that is so, then I have gone astray and my deeds have been wasted.
