حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّارُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُدْعَانَ، وَيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعَا سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، يَقُولُ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ مَا جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ لأَحَدٍ إِلاَّ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ لَهُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ‏"‏ ارْمِ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ارْمِ أَيُّهَا الْغُلاَمُ الْحَزَوَّرُ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَجَابِرٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

‘Ali reported: Allah’s Messenger did not say ‘May my father and mother be sacrificed for you’ to anyone except Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas. On the day of Uhud he said to him, ‘Shoot! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you!’ He also said, ‘Shoot, you strong young man!’

There are reports on this topic from al-Zubayr and Jabir. Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith, and it has been transmitted from ‘Ali through other routes.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic gives two calls to Sa‘d during Uhud, including the expression invoking both parents and the description of him as a vigorous young man.
