Jami at-Tirmidhi 2365 (Book 36, Hadith 62) #27999
The Efforts of Sa'd Bin Abi Waqqas

SUMMARY: Sa'd Bin Abi Waqqas was one of the first people to fight in Allah's cause and he experienced difficult times during battles. He is now being instructed in religion by Banu Asad, but he believes that it would be a waste of his efforts.

Sa'd Bin Abi Waqqas said: "I was among the first men who spilled blood in Allah's cause, and I was among the first men to shoot an arrow in Allah's cause. I saw battles with troops of the Companions of Muhammad (s.a.w). We had nothing to eat except leaves of trees and Al-Hublah, such that one of us would leave droppings like the droppings of sheep and camels. Now Banu Asad have appeared wanting to instruct me in religion, ( then) I would be a loser and have wasted my efforts".
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، يَقُولُ إِنِّي لأَوَّلُ رَجُلٍ أَهْرَاقَ دَمًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَإِنِّي لأَوَّلُ رَجُلٍ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَغْزُو فِي الْعِصَابَةِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَا نَأْكُلُ إِلاَّ وَرَقَ الشَّجَرِ وَالْحُبُلَةِ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ أَوِ الْبَعِيرُ وَأَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ يُعَزِّرُونِي فِي الدِّينِ لَقَدْ خِبْتُ إِذًا وَضَلَّ عَمَلِي ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ بَيَانٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Sacrificing our time and energy for something we believe in even if it means facing difficult times or hardships along the way

EXPLANATIONS:
Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas was one of the earliest companions of Prophet Muhammad who fought for Allah’s cause. He experienced many hardships during battles such as having to eat leaves from trees and Al-Hublah, which caused them to have droppings like sheep and camels. Despite all these difficulties, he still chose to fight for Allah’s cause with great sacrifice and dedication. Nowadays, Banu Asad are trying to teach him about religion but he believes that it would be a waste of his efforts since he has already dedicated so much time and energy into fighting for Allah’s cause. This hadith teaches us about the importance of sacrificing our time and energy for something we believe in even if it means facing difficult times or hardships along the way.
