‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ‏ ‏وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ‏ ‏الْمَعْنَى ‏ ‏قَالَا أَنْبَأَنَا ‏ ‏سُفْيَانُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏الْعَيْزَارِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏عَجِبْتُ مِنْ قَضَاءِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ إِنْ أَصَابَهُ خَيْرٌ حَمِدَ رَبَّهُ وَشَكَرَ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ حَمِدَ رَبَّهُ وَصَبَرَ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى فِي اللُّقْمَةِ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى ‏ ‏فِي امْرَأَتِهِ ‏

It was narrated from Sulayman ibn Abi Abdullah who (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that i saw Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) seize a man who was hunting in the sacred precinct of Madinah which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had declared sacred, and he stripped him of his clothes. His masters came, and Sa'd said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared this place sacred and said: If anyone catches someone hunting in it, let him take his belongings. So I will not return to you what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted me.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سُفْيَانَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏جَاءَهُ النَّبِيُّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ ‏ ‏بِمَكَّةَ ‏ ‏وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي هَاجَرَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ ‏ ‏سَعْدَ ابْنَ عَفْرَاءَ ‏ ‏يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ ‏ ‏سَعْدَ ابْنَ عَفْرَاءَ ‏ ‏وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏أُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَالنِّصْفُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَالثُّلُثُ قَالَ ‏ ‏الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ إِنَّكَ أَنْ تَدَعَ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ عَالَةً ‏ ‏يَتَكَفَّفُونَ ‏ ‏النَّاسَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَإِنَّكَ مَهْمَا أَنْفَقْتَ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ فَإِنَّهَا ‏ ‏صَدَقَةٌ ‏ ‏حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى ‏ ‏فِي امْرَأَتِكَ وَلَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَكَ فَيَنْتَفِعَ بِكَ نَاسٌ وَيُضَرَّ بِكَ آخَرُونَ ‏

It was narrated that Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) used to pray Isha in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then he would pray witr with a single rak'ah, adding nothing more. It was said to him: 'O Abu Ishaq, you pray witr with just one rak'ah?' He said: 'Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The one who does not sleep until he prays his witr is prudent and resolute.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏الْحَدُوا ‏ ‏لِي ‏ ‏لَحْدًا ‏ ‏وَانْصِبُوا ‏ ‏عَلَيَّ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd (رضي الله عنه) who said: I passed by Uthman ibn Affan in the mosque and greeted him with salam. He looked at me fully but did not return my greeting. So I went to Umar ibn al-Khattab, the Commander of the Believers, and told him. Umar sent for Uthman and asked him about it. Uthman said: 'I did not do that.' Sa'd said: 'Yes, you did.' They continued until they swore oaths. Then Uthman remembered and said: 'Yes, I seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him. You passed by me while I was reflecting on something I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. By Allah, I did not intend to ignore you. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: I know words that no servant says sincerely from his heart except that the gates of Heaven are opened for him: La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah).'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَفَّانُ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ ‏ ‏أَنْبَأَنَا ‏ ‏عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏قُلْتُ ‏ ‏لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏ ‏إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ حَدِيثٍ وَأَنَا أَهَابُكَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عِنْدِي عِلْمًا فَسَلْنِي عَنْهُ وَلَا تَهَبْنِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏لِعَلِيٍّ ‏ ‏حِينَ خَلَّفَهُ ‏ ‏بِالْمَدِينَةِ ‏ ‏فِي ‏ ‏غَزْوَةِ ‏ ‏تَبُوكَ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ ‏ ‏سَعْدٌ ‏ ‏خَلَّفَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏عَلِيًّا ‏ ‏بِالْمَدِينَةِ ‏ ‏فِي ‏ ‏غَزْوَةِ ‏ ‏تَبُوكَ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُخَلِّفُنِي فِي الْخَالِفَةِ فِي النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ فَقَالَ ‏ ‏أَمَا ‏ ‏تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ ‏ ‏هَارُونَ ‏ ‏مِنْ ‏ ‏مُوسَى ‏ ‏قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَدْبَرَ ‏ ‏عَلِيٌّ ‏ ‏مُسْرِعًا كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى غُبَارِ قَدَمَيْهِ يَسْطَعُ ‏ ‏وَقَدْ قَالَ ‏ ‏حَمَّادٌ ‏ ‏فَرَجَعَ ‏ ‏عَلِيٌّ ‏ ‏مُسْرِعًا ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd (رضي الله عنه) that Ali (رضي الله عنه) went out with the Prophet ﷺ until they reached Thaniyyat al-Wada'. Ali was weeping and saying: 'You leave me behind with the women and children?' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Are you not content that you are to me as Harun was to Musa (عليهما السلام), except that there is no prophet after me?'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَفَّانُ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنِي ‏ ‏عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنِي ‏ ‏يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏ذُكِرَ الطَّاعُونُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَقَالَ ‏ ‏رِجْزٌ ‏ ‏أُصِيبَ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَإِذَا كَانَ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَا تَدْخُلُوهَا وَإِذَا كَانَ بِهَا وَأَنْتُمْ بِهَا فَلَا تَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet ﷺ used to say: 'My ummah will not be too insignificant before their Lord for Him to delay them half a day.' I asked Rashid: 'Have you heard what half a day means?' He said: 'Five hundred years.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ‏ ‏أَنْبَأَنَا ‏ ‏مَعْمَرٌ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏الْعَيْزَارِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏عَجِبْتُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا أَصَابَهُ خَيْرٌ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَشَكَرَ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَصَبَرَ فَالْمُؤْمِنُ يُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ أَمْرِهِ حَتَّى يُؤْجَرَ فِي اللُّقْمَةِ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى ‏ ‏فِي امْرَأَتِهِ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Indeed, I hope that my ummah will not be too insignificant before their Lord for Him to delay them half a day.' Sa'd was asked: 'And how long is half a day?' He said: 'Five hundred years.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏وَكِيعٌ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏مَكْحُولٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ حَامِيَةَ الْقَوْمِ أَيَكُونُ سَهْمُهُ وَسَهْمُ غَيْرِهِ سَوَاءً قَالَ ‏ ‏ثَكِلَتْكَ ‏ ‏أُمُّكَ يَا ‏ ‏ابْنَ أُمِّ سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏وَهَلْ تُرْزَقُونَ وَتُنْصَرُونَ إِلَّا بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about this verse: 'He is capable of sending punishment upon you from above you or from beneath your feet' (al-An'am 6:65). the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'It will come. But its appointed time has not yet arrived.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏شُعْبَةُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏مُصْعَبَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلَاءً فَقَالَ ‏ ‏الْأَنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ الْأَمْثَلُ فَالْأَمْثَلُ ‏ ‏فَيُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ رَقِيقَ الدِّينِ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ ذَاكَ وَإِنْ كَانَ صُلْبَ الدِّينِ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ ذَاكَ قَالَ فَمَا تَزَالُ الْبَلَايَا بِالرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يَمْشِيَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'If even what a fingernail could carry of what is in Paradise were to appear, it would beautify everything between the horizons of the heavens and the earth. And if a man from the people of Paradise were to look out and his bracelet became visible, it would outshine the light of the sun, just as the sun outshines the stars.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏شُعْبَةُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ‏ ‏قَالَ قَالَ ‏ ‏سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ‏ ‏جَمَعَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏أَبَوَيْهِ يَوْمَ ‏ ‏أُحُدٍ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) who said: 'I saw on the right of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and on his left on the day of Uhud two men wearing white garments, fighting on his behalf most fiercely. I had not seen them before or after that day' — meaning Jibril and Mika'il (عليهما السلام).

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏شُعْبَةُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏مَوْلَى ‏ ‏جُهَيْنَةَ ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏مُصْعَبَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعْدٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ ‏أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَكْسِبَ فِي الْيَوْمِ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ قَالَ وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يُسَبِّحُ مِائَةَ تَسْبِيحَةٍ فَيُكْتَبُ لَهُ أَلْفُ حَسَنَةٍ ‏ ‏وَتُمْحَى عَنْهُ أَلْفُ سَيِّئَةٍ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) who said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: 'No prayer should be offered after two prayers: after the Fajr prayer until the sun rises, and after the Asr prayer until the sun sets.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏شُعْبَةُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏أَبَا عُثْمَانَ ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏سَعْدًا ‏ ‏وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏وَأَبَا بَكْرَةَ ‏ ‏تَسَوَّرَ حِصْنَ ‏ ‏الطَّائِفِ ‏ ‏فِي نَاسٍ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَقَالَا ‏ ‏سَمِعْنَا النَّبِيَّ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ‏ ‏مَنْ ادَّعَى إِلَى أَبٍ غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ أَبِيهِ فَالْجَنَّةُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ ‏

It was narrated from Abu Uthman who (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that i heard Sa'd — he was the first to shoot an arrow in the path of Allah — and Abu Bakrah, who climbed over the fortress of Ta'if among some people and came to the Prophet ﷺ, both of them saying: We heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever claims a father who is not his, while knowing this, Paradise is forbidden for him.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏شُعْبَةُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏إِسْمَاعِيلَ ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏قَيْسَ بْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ قَالَ ‏ ‏سَعْدٌ ‏ ‏لَقَدْ ‏ ‏رَأَيْتُنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا ‏ ‏وَرَقَ الْحُبْلَةِ ‏ ‏حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ مَا يُخَالِطُهُ شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ ‏ ‏بَنُو أَسَدٍ ‏ ‏يُعَزِّرُونِي ‏ ‏عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ لَقَدْ خَسِرْتُ إِذَنْ وَضَلَّ سَعْيِي ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd (رضي الله عنه) who said: 'I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as one of seven, and we had no food except the leaves of the hubla tree, to the point that one of us would pass droppings like those of sheep or goats. Now Banu Asad want to instruct me in religion — I would be a loser and my efforts would be wasted [if they were right about me].'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ‏ ‏أَنْبَأَنَا ‏ ‏سُفْيَانُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عَاصِمٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنِي ‏ ‏أَبُو عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيُّ ‏ ‏قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ‏ ‏ابْنَ مَالِكٍ ‏ ‏يَقُولُ ‏ ‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏مَنْ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ فَالْجَنَّةُ عَلَيْهِ حَرَامٌ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever claims to belong to someone other than his father while knowing [the truth], Paradise is forbidden for him.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ‏ ‏أَنْبَأَنَا ‏ ‏مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ ‏ ‏أَخْبَرَنِي ‏ ‏إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏جَدِّهِ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏يَا ‏ ‏سَعْدُ ‏ ‏قُمْ فَأَذِّنْ ‏ ‏بِمِنًى ‏ ‏إِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ وَلَا صَوْمَ فِيهَا ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'O Sa'd, stand and announce in Mina: These are days of eating and drinking; there is no fasting in them' — meaning the days of Tashriq.

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏زَائِدَةَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ ‏ ‏قَالَ قَالَ ‏ ‏سَعْدٌ ‏ ‏فِيَّ سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏الثُّلُثَ أَتَانِي يَعُودُنِي قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي أَوْصَيْتَ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ ‏ ‏جَعَلْتُ مَالِي كُلَّهُ فِي الْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ قَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ قُلْتُ إِنَّ وَرَثَتِي أَغْنِيَاءُ قُلْتُ الثُّلُثَيْنِ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ ‏ ‏فَالشَّطْرَ ‏ ‏قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ الثُّلُثَ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd (رضي الله عنه) who said: 'It was regarding me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ established the rule of one-third [in bequests]. He came to visit me while I was ill and said: Have you made a bequest? I said: Yes, I have bequeathed all my wealth for the sake of Allah. He said: A quarter. I said: [All of it.] He said: A third, and a third is much. That the heirs you leave behind be wealthy is better than leaving them poor, begging from people.'

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏أَبَانُ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏يَحْيَى ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏الْحَضْرَمِيِّ بْنِ لَاحِقٍ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏ ‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏قَالَ ‏ ‏لَا ‏ ‏هَامَةَ ‏ ‏وَلَا عَدْوَى وَلَا ‏ ‏طِيَرَةَ ‏ ‏إِنْ يَكُنْ فَفِي الْمَرْأَةِ وَالدَّابَّةِ وَالدَّارِ ‏

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There is no hamah (superstitious belief about owl omens), no contagion [spreading by itself without Allah's decree], and no tiyarah (evil omens from birds). If there is any [ill omen], it would be in a woman, a horse, or a dwelling.'

It was narrated from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (رضي الله عنه) and Khalid ibn al-Walid (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever claims to belong to someone other than his father, while knowing that he is not his father, Paradise is forbidden for him.'
