حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى وَابْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ قَيْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِى وَقَّاصٍ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لأَوَّلُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَقَدْ كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ نَأْكُلُهُ إِلاَّ وَرَقُ الْحُبْلَةِ وَهَذَا السَّمُرُ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ تُعَزِّرُنِى عَلَى الدِّينِ لَقَدْ خِبْتُ إِذًا وَضَلَّ عَمَلِى وَلَمْ يَقُلِ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ إِذًا.
Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas said: "By Allah, I was the first man among the Arabs to shoot an arrow in the cause of Allah. We were on a campaign with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and we had no food to eat but the leaves of Al-Hublah and this As-Samur (desert trees), and one of us would excrete stool like a sheep. And now Banu Asad are teaching me about my religion, in which case I must have been doomed and misguided. "
