In this episode of Lives of the Khulafaa, Shaykh Dr Yasir Qadhi covers the life of Saad Ibn Abi Waqqas, one of the ten that was promised Paradise(Ashara Mubashara). He was from the small tribe of Banu-Zuhra, along with AbdurRahman Ibn Awf. Banu-Zuhra was the tribe of Amina Bint-Wahab, the mother of the Prophet(S).

Saad Ibn Abi Waqqas was born 17 years prior to the preaching of Islam. He has been described as being short & stocky, not a very strong build, dark complexion, flat nose along with curly hair. He was not known for his looks or physical strength, nonetheless he was known for his intelligence, and especially known for his eyesight, how good his eyesight was. That is why he was well known out of all the Sahabas, Saad Ibn Abi Waqqas had the reputation of being the best marksman, the one who can shoot a bow and arrow and hit the target. Therefore he was the best of the Sahabas in this regard.

Saad Ibn Abi Waqqas was 17 years old when the Da’wah of Islam began. Indeed he was the seventh of the ten Sahabas to convert to Islam, also from the five that converted in the hands of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq. It is also mentioned that when he converted to Islam, he did not even have any facial hair on his face.
