Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (RA) was one of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
He was the seventh free adult man to embrace Islam, which he did at the age of seventeen. He participated in all battles under Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during their stay in Medina.
Sa’d (RA) was famous for his leadership in the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah and the conquest of the Sasanian capital Ctesiphon in 636.
After the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah and the Siege of Ctesiphon, he served as the supreme commander of the Rashidun army in Iraq which conquered Khuzestan province and built the garrison city of Kufa.
Traditions of Chinese Muslims hold that he introduced Islam to China on diplomatic sojourns in 651.
During the First Fitna, Sa’d (RA) was known for leading the neutral faction that contained the majority of the Companions of the Prophet PBUH and their followers, who refused to be involved in the civil war.
Sunni historians and scholars regarded Sa’d (RA) as one of the ten to whom Paradise was promised, and he is famed for his participation in Badr and Uhud.
