٢٨٢٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ ‌يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ ‌عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: «مَا سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَمَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرَ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ».

Commentary

The aim of mentioning the ransom of one’s parents for someone is to express love, affection, honor and respect for him; after having been impressed by the service of Sa’d bin Abī Waqqāš in the battle of Uhud, the Prophet ﷺ uttered the wording of ransoming his parents for paying him tributes and for the acknowledgment of his service, the Prophet said the same words for Az-Zubair bin Awwām in the Battle of the Trench.
