6453. Narrated Sa'd: I was the first man among the Arabs to shoot an arrow for Allāh's Cause. We used to fight in Allāh's Cause while we had nothing to eat except the leaves of Al-Hubla and the Samur trees (desert trees) so that we discharged excrement like that of sheep (i.e., unmixed droppings). Today the (people of the) tribe of Banī Asad teach me the laws of Islām. If so, then I am lost, and all my efforts of that hard time had gone in vain.
6453 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا، يَقُولُ: «إِنِّي لَأَوَّلُ العَرَبِ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَرَأَيْتُنَا نَغْزُو وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا وَرَقُ الحُبْلَةِ، وَهَذَا السَّمُرُ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ، مَا لَهُ خِلْطٌ، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ تُعَزِّرُنِي عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ، خِبْتُ إِذًا وَضَلَّ سَعْيِي»
