Mother of Sa’d b. Abu Waqqas’ protest against his Islam

Four ayat were revealed about me:

(1) The first was when my mother swore she would neither eat nor drink until I left Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah Almighty revealed, 'But if they try to make you associate something with Me about which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. Keep company with them correctly and courteously in this world' (31:15)

(2) The second was when I took a sword that I admired and said, 'Messenger of Allah, give me this!' Then the ayat was revealed: 'They will ask you about booty.' (8:1)

(3) The third was when I was ill and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to me and I said, 'Messenger of Allah, I want to divide my property. Can I will away a half?' He said, 'No.' 'A third?' I asked. He was silent and so after that it was allowed to will away a third.

(4) The fourth was when I had been drinking wine with some of the Ansar. One of them hit my nose with the jawbone of a camel. I went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Allah Almighty revealed the prohibition of wine."  

نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ أَرْبَعُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ تَعَالَى:

(١) كَانَتْ أُمِّي حَلَفَتْ أَنْ لاَ تَأْكُلَ وَلاَ تَشْرَبَ حَتَّى أُفَارِقَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلاَ تُطُعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا}

(٢) وَالثَّانِيَةُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَخَذْتُ سَيْفًا أَعْجَبَنِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَبْ لِي هَذَا فَنَزَلَتْ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنْفَالِ}

(٣) وَالثَّالِثَةُ أَنِّي مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقْسِمَ مَالِي أَفَأُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ» فَقُلْتُ: الثُّلُثُ؟ فَسَكَتَ، فَكَانَ الثُّلُثُ بَعْدَهُ جَائِزًا

(٤) وَالرَّابِعَةُ إِنِّي شَرِبْتُ الْخَمْرَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَضَرَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنْفِي بِلَحْيِ جَمَلٍ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَحْرِيمَ الْخَمْرِ
