    وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ لِنِسَائِهِ: «إِنَّ أَمْرَكُنَّ مِمَّا يَهُمُّنِي مِنْ بَعْدِي وَلَنْ يَصْبِرَ عَلَيْكُنَّ إِلَّا الصَّابِرُونَ الصِّدِّيقُونَ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: يَعْنِي الْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لِأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ سَقَى اللَّهُ أَبَاكَ مِنْ سَلْسَبِيلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَكَانَ ابنُ عوفٍ قَدْ تَصَدَّقَ عَلَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِحَدِيقَةٍ بِيعَتْ بِأَرْبَعِينَ ألفا. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ

    `A’isha told that God’s messenger used to say to his wives, “I am concerned about what will happen to you after I am gone, when only the self-sacrificing and truly generous will continue to care for you.” `A’isha said his meaning was those who give sadaqa . Then `A’isha said to Abu Salama b. `Abd ar-Rahman, “May God give your father drink from Salsabil[1] in paradise!” Ibn `Auf[2] had given as sadaqa for the mothers of the faithful a garden which had been sold for forty thousand. A fountain in paradise. Cf. Quran, 76:18. i.e., ‘Abd ar-Rahman b. `Auf, Abu Salama’s father. Tirmidhi transmitted it.

    وَعَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُنِي وَأَنَا ثَالِثُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَمَا أَسْلَمَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَسْلَمْتُ فِيهِ وَلَقَدْ مَكَثْتُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَإِنِّي لثالث الْإِسْلَام. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

    Sa’d said: I have seen myself as. the third member of Islam, no one having accepted it except on the day I did, and during the space of seven days I constituted a third of Islam[*]. *The claim is that after Abu Bakr and Khadija no one accepted Islam before he did, and that no one else accepted it for a week after he did. Bukhari transmitted it, and Baghawi rendered it in his Mu’jam .

    عَن قيس بن حَازِمٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يَقُولُ: إِنِّي لَأَوَّلُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَرَأَيْتُنَا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا الْحُبْلَةَ وَوَرَقَ السَّمُرِ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدنَا ليضع كَمَا تضع الشَّاة مَاله خِلْطٌ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ تُعَزِّرُنِي عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ لَقَدْ خِبْتُ إِذًا وَضَلَّ عَمَلِي وَكَانُوا وَشَوْا بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ وَقَالُوا: لَا يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ

    Qais b. Abu Hazim told that he heard Sa’d b. Aba Waqqas say, “I was the first man among the Arabs to shoot an arrow in God’s path. I saw once when we were on an expedition with God’s messenger and had no food but the fruit and leaves of the mimosa that our stools were dry and in small pieces like a sheep’s. The B. Asad were reproving me about [my unsatisfactory observance of] Islam, in which case I would be the loser and lack the benefit of what I had done.” They had given information against him to ‘Umar, saying he did not perform the prayer properly[*]. *The occasion was when Sa’d was in charge in Iraq. The point of the tradition is that examples of his early faithfulness are given to show what he endured on the Prophet’s behalf, but now that he is being accused of laxity there is a danger that he may lose the reward for his earlier good deeds supposing the charge could be substantiated. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    Jabir told that Sa’d came forward and the Prophet said, “This is my maternal uncle; now let any man show me his maternal uncle.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, explaining that Sa’d belonged to the B. Zuhra, the tribe to which the Prophet’s mother belonged, and that on that account the Prophet said, “This is my maternal uncle.” Al masabih has “let him honour” instead of “let him show me.”

    Jabir told that God’s messenger looked at Talha b. `Ubaidallah and said, “If anyone wants to look at a man walking on the face of the earth when he has died[*] let him look at this man.” A version has, “If anyone finds pleasure in looking at a martyr walking on the face of the earth let him look at Talha b. `Ubaidallah.” *The idea may be that he has vowed to fight to death in God’s path, and so he is spoken of as being as good as dead. Tirmidhi transmitted it.

    Az-Zubair said: At the battle of Uhud the Prophet was wearing two coats of mail. He got up to go to the rock but was unable to climb up, so Talha let him step on his back and thus he was able to settle himself on the rock. I heard God’s messenger say, “Talha has made [paradise certain for himself].” Tirmidhi transmitted it.
