Then Sa‟ad said: 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon
him, am I to be left behind in Mecca after my Companions leave?'
He replied: 'You will not be left behind doing anything seeking the
pleasure of Allah which will not cause you to be raised in degree
and rank. May you be left in order that some people might benefit
from you and that some are harmed by you.' Then the Prophet,
praise and peace be upon him, supplicated (saying): 'O Allah,
complete for my Companions their migration, and do not turn them
back on their heels.' But the one to be pitied was Sa‟ad, the son of
Khawlah who died in Mecca, for whom the Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him, expressed mercy and compassion.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to (Abu Ishaq) Sa‟ad, the son of Abi Wakkas
Malik son of Uhaib (one of the ten given the glad tidings of admission into Paradise)
said this.
