On the day of the battle of Uhud the Prophet ﷺ mentioned for me both his parents (i.e. saying, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you.").  

سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا يَقُولُ جَمَعَ لِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبَوَيْهِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ  

No doubt, (for some time) I stood for one-third of the Muslims.  

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَأَنَا ثُلُثُ الإِسْلاَمِ  

No man embraced Islam before the day on which I embraced Islam, and no doubt, I remained for seven days as one third of the then extant Muslims.  

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ  

I heard Saʿd saying, "I was the first amongst the 'Arabs who shot an arrow for Allah's Cause. We used to fight along with the Prophets, while we had nothing to eat except the leaves of trees so that one's excrete would look like the excrete balls of camel or a sheep, containing nothing to mix them together. Today Banu Asad tribe blame me for not having understood Islam. I would be a loser if my deeds were in vain." Those people complained about Saʿd to ʿUmar, claiming that he did not offer his prayers perfectly.  

سَمِعْتُ سَعْدًا ؓ يَقُولُ إِنِّي لأَوَّلُ الْعَرَبِ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَكُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَا لَنَا طَعَامٌ إِلاَّ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ كَمَا يَضَعُ الْبَعِيرُ أَوِ الشَّاةُ مَا لَهُ خِلْطٌ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَتْ بَنُو أَسَدٍ تُعَزِّرُنِي عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ لَقَدْ خِبْتُ إِذًا وَضَلَّ عَمَلِي وَكَانُوا وَشَوْا بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ قَالُوا لاَ يُحْسِنُ يُصَلِّي
