I heard Sa`d saying, "I was the first amongst the 'Arabs who shot an arrow for Allah's Cause. We usedto fight along with the Prophets, while we had nothing to eat except the leaves of trees so that one'sexcrete would look like the excrete balls of camel or a sheep, containing nothing to mix them together.Today Banu Asad tribe blame me for not having understood Islam. I would be a loser if my deedswere in vain." Those people complained about Sa`d to `Umar, claiming that he did not offer hisprayers perfectly.
