[Machine] We went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Battle of Dhat al-Riqa' from a date palm. He mentioned the hadith and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ descended to a place and said, "Who will guard us tonight?" So, a man from the Muhajireen and a man from the Ansar volunteered. They said, "We will, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Then join in guarding the pass." When they reached the pass, the Ansari said to the Muhajir, "Which part of the night do you prefer me to guard first or last?" The Muhajir said, "No, let me guard first." So, the Muhajir laid down to sleep while the Ansari prayed. He then mentioned the hadith.
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ مِنْ نَخْلٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلًا فَقَالَ مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَكْلَؤُنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ؟ فَانْتَدَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَكُونَا بِفَمِ الشِّعْبِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ خَرَجَا إِلَى فَمِ الشِّعْبِ قَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ لِلْمُهَاجِرِيِّ أِيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ أَكْفِيَكَ أَوَّلَهُ أَوْ آخِرَهُ؟ قَالَ بَلِ اكْفِنِي أَوَّلَهُ فَاضْطَجَعَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ فَنَامَ وَقَامَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يُصَلِّي فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
