Sa'd was one of the companions of the Prophet (s), an [[Ansar|inhabitant of Medina]] and a leader of the Khazraj tribe during the [[Age of Ignorance]] as well as after the advent of Islam. Ibn Hazam states that he narrated 21 [[hadith]]s from the Prophet (s). Before the dawn of Islam, he was known as Sa'd Kamil because of his knowledge of reading, writing, archery and swimming.

Sa'd and his forefathers were known for their generosity in the Age of Ignorance and even after it because of their honor, dignity, and open-handedness in giving feasts in Medina. It has been said that no Arab family boasted of generosity to last in four generations in such a manner.  Qays, the son of Sa'd was the most charitable of them all.

Several reports recount Sa'd's generosity. It is narrated that Dulaym, his grandfather, owned a house that was famously called "Dulaym's eating place" where everyday a person would call out: "Anybody who wants meat, come to Dulaym's house." After Dulaym's death, this benevolent act was continued by Sa'd, and later by his son, Qays.
