Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqas Son

A shrine to the missionary who first brought islam to china.

Hazrat saad bin abi waqas son. He was the first archer of islam who shot his arrows in the way of allah. But if someone else is to be caliph then he has to seek sa d s help. While he was in pitch black darkness a bright moon rose instantly and he began to follow a moon lit road.

He was closely related to the prophet r s mother aminah. Afterwards on the same road he saw that zaid bin harith hazrat ali and hazrat abu bakr were walking ahead of him. Sa d bin abi waqqas was only a 17 year old young man filled with excitement and energy.

But it seems from umar s last words that if he would have chosen one of the companions for the caliphate it would have been saad. Saad was one of the first people to accept islam. He said to his companions advising and commending if sa d is to become caliph that s good.
