Sahih Bukhari 4058 — Ali’s Report on Sa’d’s Unique Honor

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4058

This Hadith gives Ali’s testimony about Sa’d. Ali says he never heard the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) mention both his father and mother for anyone other than Sa’d. The report is short, but it shows how rare this phrase was in Ali’s hearing. The core topic is the merit of Sa’d and the way the companions remembered the Prophet’s words. It also shows that praise from the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was not treated lightly by the companions. They noticed it, preserved it, and passed it on. For people searching “Ali never heard the Prophet say this except for Sa’d,” this narration gives the key wording. The safe lesson is simple: Sa’d received a special honor that Ali clearly remembered.
