Quick fact: Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqas (R.A) is among the Ashra Mubashra, the ten companions given the glad tidings of Paradise in a single hadith.

Explanation

The Ashra Mubashra refers to the ten blessed companions to whom the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gave the glad tidings of Paradise during his lifetime, all mentioned together in one narration. Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqas (R.A) is one of them; he was a maternal uncle of the Prophet (PBUH), a renowned archer, and the conqueror of Persia. The other nine include the four Rightly Guided Caliphs, Hazrat Talha, Hazrat Zubair, Hazrat Abdur Rehman Bin Auf, Hazrat Saad Bin Zaid, and Hazrat Abu Ubaidah Bin Al-Jarrah (R.A).

Good to know

The Ashra Mubashra are ten companions specifically named by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in a single hadith as being guaranteed Paradise. Hazrat Saad Bin Abi Waqas (R.A) holds the unique distinction of being the first to shoot an arrow in the path of Islam and was the last of the ten to pass away. The list does not include companions like Hazrat Abdullah Bin Masood, Hazrat Bilal, or Hazrat Salman Farsi (R.A), despite their immense virtues and high status.
