English translation

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)

Arabic text

3776 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا نَذْكُرُ بَعْضَ الْأَمْرِ وَأَنَا حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِالْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَحَلَفْتُ بِاللَّاتِ وَالْعُزَّى، فَقَالَ لِي أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: بِئْسَ مَا قُلْتَ: ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبِرْهُ، فَإِنَّا لَا نَرَاكَ إِلَّا قَدْ كَفَرْتَ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ لِي: " قُلْ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَاتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَلَا تَعُدْ لَهُ "

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.
