We went forward with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when we reached Dhat al-Riqa, we came to a shady tree which we left for him. One of the men of the polytheists came there and, seeing the sword of the Messenger ﷺ hanging by a tree, took it up, drew it from the scabbard and said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Are you afraid of Me? He (the Holy Prophet) said: No. He again said: Who would protect you from me? He said: Allah will protect me from you. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ threatened him. He sheathed the sword and hung it up.
Then call to prayer was made and he (the Holy Prophet) led a group in two rakah. Then (the members of this group) withdrew and he led the second group in two rakah. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed four rakah and people observed two rakah.
أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا أَتَيْنَا عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ ظَلِيلَةٍ تَرَكْنَاهَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَسَيْفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُعَلَّقٌ بِشَجَرَةٍ فَأَخَذَ سَيْفَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاخْتَرَطَهُ فَقَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَخَافُنِي؟ قَا:لَ لاَ۔ قَالَ: فَمَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ: اللَّهُ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ۔ قَالَ: فَتَهَدَّدَهُ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَغْمَدَ السَّيْفَ وَعَلَّقَهُ
قَالَ فَنُودِيَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرُوا وَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الأُخْرَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ
