[Machine] Saad ibn Abi Waqqas said, "I am the son of Mustajab ad-Du'a (one whose supplications are answered) and the leader of the Thalmah tribe among the Arabs. I am entrusted with the flag for the Prophet Muhammad, and with it, I march in his honor. Allah has favored me with this position over all others. The people differed among themselves, but I refused to fight against the people of Tawhid (belief in the oneness of Allah) and the books (scriptures). Allah protected me, and not a single person from them was harmed by an arrow, nor were they harmed."  

سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ « [البحر الكامل] أَنَا ابْنُ مُسْتَجَابِ الدُّعَاءِ وَالسَّادُّ لِلثُّلْمَةِ لِلْمُصْطَفَى مِنَ الْعَرَبِ يَكْلَأُهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ مُحْتَسِبًا خُصَّ بِهَا دُونَ كُلِّ مُحْتَسِبِ وَاخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَبَى قِتَالَ أَهْلِ التَّوْحِيدِ وَالْكُتُبِ سَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ لَمْ يُصَبْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ بِسَهْمٍ إِذًا وَلَمْ يُصَبْ»
