3807. It was narrated from Muş'ab bin Sa'd that his father said: "We were talking about something, and I had only recently left Jâhiliyyah behind, so I swore by Al-Lât and Al-'Uzza. The Companions of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to me: 'What a bad thing you have said!
Go to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and tell him, for we think that you have committed Kufr.' So I went to him and told him, and he said to me: 'Say: Lā ilāha illallāh waḥdahu lā sharīka lah (There is none worthy of worship except Allāh alone, with out partner) three times, and seek refuge with Allāh from the Shaitān three times, and spit dryly to your left three times, and do not say that again.'" (Saḥīh)

Commentary
Sa'd ﷺ was the Muslim of the very early period of Islam. He is included among the first Muslims. A very few venerable personages had embraced Islam earlier than him. According to his own description, he was the third to embrace Islam. He belonged to the ten to whom, in their lifetime, Paradise had been announced. May Allāh be pleased with him, and he be with Him.
