Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ حَامِيَةَ الْقَوْمِ أَيَكُونُ سَهْمُهُ وَسَهْمُ غَيْرِهِ سَوَاءً قَالَ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ سَعْدٍ وَهَلْ تُرْزَقُونَ وَتُنْصَرُونَ إِلَّا بِضُعَفَائِكُمْ.
English Translation
Sa'd said: 'O Messenger of Allah, a man who protects the people in battle — should his share be the same as everyone else's?' He said: 'May your mother grieve for you, O son of Umm Sa'd! Are you not given provision and victory only because of your weak ones?'
