Musnad Ahmed
Da'if (Darussalam) because it is interrupted]
Ibn Abi Najeeh said:
I asked Tawoos about a man who stoned the Jamrah with six pebbles and he said: “Let him donate a handful of food.” Then I met Mujahid and I asked him and told him what Tawoos had said. He said: “May Allah have mercy on Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman. Did he not hear the words of Sa"d bin Malik?” He said: “We stoned the jimar (or the jamrah) when we did Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), then we sat and talked, and among us were those who said: I threw six pebbles; and among us were those who said: I threw seven; and among us were those who said, I threw eight; and among us were those who said: I threw mine. And they did not see anything wrong with that.”

Musnad Ahmed
Sahih (Darussalam), al Bukhari (56) and Muslim (1628)]
It was narrated from Sa’d that
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered upon him to visit him when he was sick, when he was in Makkah. He said: “O Messenger of Allah, I am afraid that I will die in the land from which I migrated as Sa"d bin Khawlah died. Pray to Allah to heal me.” He said: “O Allah, heal Sa"d, O Allah, heal Sa"d, O Allah, heal Sa"d." He said: “O Messenger of Allah, I have a great deal of wealth, and I have no heir except one daughter. Can I bequeath all my wealth (to charity)?” He said: “No." He said: “Can I bequeath two thirds of it?” He said: “No,ʻʼ He said: “Can I bequeath half of it?” He said: “No." He said: “Can I bequeath one third?” He said: “One third, and one third is a lot. If you spend from your wealth, it is a charity for you; if you spend from your wealth on your dependents, it is a charity for you; if you spend from your wealth on your family, it is a charity for you. If you leave your family something that is enough for them to live on that is better than leaving them to ask people for help.”

It was narrated from ‘Amir bin Sa"d that
His brother "Umar went to Sa"d on the outskirts of Madinah, where he was living with some sheep of his. When Sa"d saw him he said: “I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of this rider.” When he came to him, he said: “O my father, are you happy to live like a Bedouin with your sheep when the people are disputing over power in Madinah?” Sa"d struck ‘Umar"s chest and said: “Be quiet! I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “Allah loves the slave who is pious, independent of means and reclusive."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever eats seven "ajwah dates from between the two lava fields of Madinah on an empty stomach in the morning nothing will harm him that day until evening comes." Fulaih said: And I think he said: "And if he eats them in the evening, nothing will harm him until morning comes." ‘Umar said: “Think, O ‘Amir, about what you are narrating from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).” He said: “I bear witness that I have never told lies about Sa"d and Sa"d never told lies about the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).”
