In 614 the Muslims were on their way to the hills of Makkah to hold a clandestine meeting with Muhammad, when a group of polytheists observed their suspicious movements and began to abuse and fight them. Sad'a beat a polytheist and shed his blood, reportedly the first instance of bloodshed in the history of Islam.
Main articles: Battle of Badr
He fought at the battle of Badr with his young brother Umayr, who cried to accompany the Muslim army, as he was only in his early teens. Sa`d returned to al-Madīnah alone; Umayr was one of the fourteen Muslims who died in the battle.

writes:
Sa`d also fought under `Umar's command against the Sāsānian army in the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah. He was later appointed governor of al-Kūfah and Najd during the caliphate of `Umar.
Some narrations state that although Umar deposed him from his post as governor, he recommended that the caliph who succeeded him reinstall Sa'd, since Umar had not deposed Sa'd due to any treachery .
He was among the members of the council who elected the third caliph, `Uthmān.
Uthman carried out Umar's recommendation and appointed Sa'd as governor of Kufa .
S'ad is often credited for introducing Islam to China in 650, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang China.[1]

Sa'd was mentioned in a hadith relevant to the Umayyad tradition of cursing Ali [2].
He lived until he was almost eighty years old. He died, a wealthy man, in the year 664.
Sunnī Muslims regard him as one of the ten to whom paradise was promised.
