56. Jihạd (Fighting for the Cause of Allah)
٥٦۔ كتاب الجهاد والسير
as above (Hadith No. 158). Narrated Jabir bin ʿAbdullah: That he participated in a Ghazwa (Holy-Battle) in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Midday came upon them while they were in a valley having many thorny trees. The people dispersed to rest in the shade of the trees. The Prophet ﷺ rested under a tree, hung his sword on it, and then slept. Then he woke up to find near to him, a man whose presence he had not noticed before. The Prophet ﷺ said, "This (man) took my sword (out of its scabbard) and said, 'Who will save you from me.' I replied, 'Allah.' So, he put the sword back into its scabbard, and you see him sitting here." Anyhow, the Prophet ﷺ did not punish him. (See Hadith No. 158)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الْقَائِلَةُ فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ فَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ فِي الْعِضَاهِ يَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِالشَّجَرِ فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَعَلَّقَ بِهَا سَيْفَهُ ثُمَّ نَامَ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ وَهْوَ لاَ يَشْعُرُ بِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا اخْتَرَطَ سَيْفِي فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ فَشَامَ السَّيْفَ فَهَا هُوَ ذَا جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ
