[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed awake one night, and I was lying next to him. I said, "What is the matter, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "I wish a righteous man from my companions would guard me tonight." While we were in this state, I heard the sound of a weapon, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who is this?" Sa'd ibn Malik said, "What happened to you?" He replied, "I came to guard you, O Messenger of Allah." Then, I heard the snoring of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his sleep.
