43. Virtues
٤٣۔ كتاب الفضائل
We went along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ on an expedition towards Najd and Messenger of Allah ﷺ found us in a valley abounding in thorny trees. Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed for rest under a tree and he suspended his sword by one of its branches under which he was taking rest. The persons scattered in the valley and they also began to take rest under the shade of trees, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: A person came to me while I was asleep and he took hold of the sword. I woke up and found him standing upon my head and I had hardly become alert (and saw) that the sword was in his hand. And he said: Who can protect you from me? I said: Allah. He again said: Who can protect you from me? I said: Allah. He put his sword in the sheath (and you can see) this man sitting here. Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not in any way touch him.
غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةً قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَأَدْرَكَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَعَلَّقَ سَيْفَهُ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا قَالَ وَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ فِي الْوَادِي يَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِالشَّجَرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَانِي وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَأَخَذَ السَّيْفَ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِي فَلَمْ أَشْعُرْ إِلاَّ وَالسَّيْفُ صَلْتًا فِي يَدِهِ فَقَالَ لِي مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَشَامَ السَّيْفَ فَهَا هُوَ ذَا جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَعْرِضْ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Jabir b. 'Abdullah al-Ansiri, who was one amongst the Companions of Allah's Apostle ﷺ, reported that he went on an expedition along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ towards Najd and Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed there, and when Messenger of Allah ﷺ came back he also came back along with him. They, for one day, stayed for rest; the rest of the hadith is the same.
أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيَّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَخْبَرَهُمَا أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَزْوَةً قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَفَلَ مَعَهُ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الْقَائِلَةُ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَمَعْمَرٍ
We went along with Messenger of Allah ﷺ and as we reached the place Dhat-ur-Riqa'; the rest of the hadith is the same, but there is no mention of the word that Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not harm him.
أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَعْرِضْ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
