The Islam of Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas - may Allah be pleased with him - saw in his dream that he was drowning in a sea. While he was trying to save himself from drowning, he saw a moon. Sa'd - may Allah be pleased with him - tried to reach it, and indeed, he reached it. Then, he saw that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, Ali ibn Abi Talib, and Zaid ibn Harithah - may Allah be pleased with them - had preceded him to this moon.
The next morning, he heard that Muhammad - peace be upon him - was calling to a new religion. He realized that the interpretation of his dream was to embrace the true religion. Sa'd - may Allah be pleased with him - was one of the early converts to Islam. He went to the Prophet - peace be upon him - while he was in the tribe of Bani Jazima and declared his Islam there.

We are now in a small town in a narrow valley. There is no vegetation, no livestock, no gardens, and no rivers. Desert after desert separates the town from the rest of the world. During the day, the heat of the sun is unbearable and the nights are still and lonely. Tribes flock to it like animals in the open country flock to a waterhole.

There is no knowledge except that which is confined to priests and soothsayers, and a love for elegant poetry. This is Makkah and these are the Arabs.
In this town lives a young man who has not yet seen twenty summers. He is short, well built, and has a very heavy crop of hair. People compare him to a young lion. He comes from a rich and noble family. He is very attached to his parents and is particularly fond of his mother. His name is Sa'ad Ibn Abi Waqqaas .
One morning at about this time in his life, Abu Bakr came up and spoke softly to him. He explained that Muhammad Ibn 'Abdullah had received Revelation and was sent with the r
