I have the book 'Asharah Mubasharah, by Muahmmed Iqbal Siddiqi. It has a pretty good section on Hazrat Sa'd, and when I might get the time I might exapnd his article. I'm just putting the name of the book out there, just in case anyone has any concerns...--DoomsElf 01:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
A point regarding the Shia sections of the page- I think it should be noted in the text that there is an extreme bias in the opinion given by shia scholars on teh subject of the sahaba, and hence either their comments should be removed or at least teh bias should be made clear. Also, how is a 20th century shia writer used as a character reference for the sahaba? Surely the original reference from which he derived his opinion should be included, otherwise its just pure personal opinion. Ya5irha55an 11:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Shi'aism is a breakaway from Islam and is antithetical to it, and there are so many sources within Islam from which to choose from it seems ingenuous to include these derogatory references.
Does anyone know what the name waqqas means? Maybe this could also be put into the article. I have looked around and met several conflicting definitions. What would be ideal would be to have a meaning and an arabic word that it maybe assoiciated with; that's assuming that it is an Arabic name.
The Arabic root meaning - wa qaf sad - 'waqasa' means 'he broke his neckItalic text
[edit] Battle of al-Qādisiyyah
Sa'd was the leader of the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah, how come this is not mentioned? --Maha Odeh (talk) 15:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
