English translation

3728. Narrated Qais: I heard Sa'd رضي الله عنه saying, "I was the first amongst the Arabs who shot an arrow in Allāh's Cause. We used to fight along with the Prophet ﷺ, while we had nothing to eat except the leaves of trees so that one's excreta would look like the excreta balls of camel or a sheep, containing nothing to mix them together. Today, Banū Asad tribe blame me for not having understood Islām. I would be a loser if my deeds were in vain." Those people complained about Sa'd to 'Umar, claiming that he did not offer Sulāt (prayers) perfectly.

3728 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: " إِنِّي لَأَوَّلُ العَرَبِ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَكُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ، حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا يَضَعُ البَعِيرُ أَوِ الشَّاةُ، مَا لَهُ خِلْطٌ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ تُعَزِّرُنِي عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، لَقَدْ خِبْتُ إِذًا وَضَلَّ عَمَلِي، وَكَانُوا وَشَوْا بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ، قَالُوا: لاَ يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي "
