"I was the first man among the Arabs to shoot an arrow in Allah's cause. I saw that we battled along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and there was no food for us but Al-Hubla and this Samur, such that one of us would leave droppings like the droppings of a sheep. Then Banu Asad appeared wanting to instruct me in religion. I would be a loser and have wasted my efforts." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2366)
سَمِعْتُ سَعْدَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لأوَّلُ الْعَرَبِ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ نَأْكُلُهُ إِلا وَرَقَ الْحُبْلَةِ وَهَذَا السَّمُرَ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا تَضَعُ الشَّاةُ مَا لَهُخِلْطٌ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ يُعَزِّرُونِي عَلَى الدِّينِ لَقَدْ خِبْتُ إِذَنْ وَضَلَّ عَمَلِي
