Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas

A leading Companion of the Prophet from the Banu Zuhra of Quraysh, counted among the ten promised paradise, who commanded the Arab army that defeated the Sasanians at al-Qadisiyya and then occupied al-Mada'in. He is credited with organising the garrison town of Kufa and was its first governor, until Umar removed him after complaints. The Encyclopaedia of Islam reports that he stayed neutral in the strife between Ali and Mu'awiya, and judges that later traditions have much elaborated what is remembered of him.
