Firmness on Deen

When Hazrat Sa'd Bin Abu Waqqaas (Radiyallahu Anhu) had embraced Islam, his mother was very displeased to the extent that she had threatened to abstain from food and drink as long as he does not renounce Islam. But Hazrat Sa'd Bin Abu Waqqaas (Radiyallahu Anhu) did not give in. On the contrary, he informed his mother that if she had 100 lives and she sacrificed all the 100 lives, then also, he would not give up that Deen.
