" عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ أَنَّهُمْ سَارُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا؟ فَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ أَبِى مِرْثَدِ الْغَنَوِىُّ: أَنَا يَارَسُولَ الله، فَقَالَ: ارْكَبْ، فَرَكِبَ فَرسًا، فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : اسْتَقْبِلْ هَذَا الشِّعْبَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ فِى أَعْلاَهُ، وَلاَ تَغْرُرْ (*) مَنْ قِبَلكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ، خَرَجَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِلَى مُصَلاَّهُ، فَصَلَّى رَكعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: هَلْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ فَارِسَكُمْ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَارَسُولَ الله، مَا أَحْسَنَّاهُ (فَثُوِّبَ) بِالصَّلاَةِ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَهُوَ فِى الصَّلاَةِ يَتَلَفَّتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى صَلاَتَهُ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: أَبْشِرُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ فَارسُكُمْ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَنْظُرُ إِلَى ظِلاَلِ الشَّجَرِ فِى الشِّعْبِ، فَإذَا هُوَ (قَد) جَاءَ (حَتَّى) وَقَفَ عَلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّى قَدِ انْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ فِى أَعْلَى هَذَا الشِّعْبِ، حَيْثُ أَمَرنِى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ (فَنَظَرْتُ) فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : نَزَلْتَ اللَّيْلَةَ؟ قَالَ: لاَ إِلاَّ مُصَلِّيًا أَوْ قَاضِىَ حَاجَةٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : (فَقَدْ أَوْجَبَتَ) فَلاَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ لاَ تَعْمَلَ غَيْرَهَا".

On the day of Hunayn we travelled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we journeyed for a long time until the evening came. I attended the prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A horseman came and said: Messenger of Allah, I went before you and climbed a certain mountain where saw Hawazin all together with their women, cattle, and sheep, having gathered at Hunayn. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: That will be the booty of the Muslims tomorrow if Allah wills. He then asked: Who will be on guard tonight? Anas ibn AbuMarthad al-Ghanawi said: I shall , Messenger of Allah. He said: Then mount your horse. He then mounted his horse, and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Go forward to this ravine till you get to the top of it. We should not be exposed to danger from your side. In the morning the Apostle of of Allah ﷺ came out to his place of prayer, and offered two rak'ahs. He then said: Have you seen any sign of your horseman? They said: We have not, Messenger of Allah. The announcement of the time for prayer was then made, and while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying the prayer, he began to glance towards the ravine. When he finished his prayer and uttered salutation, he said: Cheer up, for your horseman has come. We therefore began to look between the trees in the ravine, and sure enough he had come. He stood beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saluted him and said: I continued till I reached the top of this ravine where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me, and in the morning I looked down into both ravines but saw no one. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him: Did you dismount during the night? He replied: No, except to pray or to relieve myself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You have ensured your entry to (Paradise). No blame will be attached to you supposing you do not work after it.

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٨١٩أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَامٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي السَّلُولِيُّ

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ سَهْلُ بْنُ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ أَنَّهُمْ سَافِرُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَأَطْنَبُوا فِي السَّيْرِ حَتَّى كَانَ عَشِيَّةُ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَارِسٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ حَتَّى طَلَعْتُ جَبَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِذَ أَنَا بِهَوَازِنَ عَلَى بَكْرَةِ أَبِيهِمْ بِظُعُنِهِمْ وَنَعَمِهِمْ وَنِسَائِهِمْ قَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «تِلْكَ غَنِيمَةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟» فَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيُّ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ «ارْكَبْ فَرَكِبَ فَرَسًا لَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اسْتَقْبِلْ هَذَا الشِّعْبَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ فِي أَعْلَاهُ وَلَا نُغَرَّنَّ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ اللَّيْلَةَ» فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ أَحْسَسْتُمْ فَارِسَكُمْ؟» قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا حَسَسْنَاهُ فَثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ سَلَّمَ وَقَالَ «أَبْشِرُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ فَارِسُكُمْ فَجَعَلْنَا نَنْظُرُ إِلَى خِلَالِ الشَّجَرِ فِي الشِّعْبِ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ جَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» فَقَالَ إِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ فِي أَعَلَى هَذَا الشِّعْبِ حَيْثُ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ طَلَعْتُ الشِّعْبَيْنِ كِلَيْهِمَا فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ نَزَلَتِ اللَّيْلَةَ؟» قَالَ لَا إِلَّا مُصَلِّيًا أَوْ قَاضيَ حَاجَةٍ قَالَ «فَقَدْ أَوْجَبْتَ فَلَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا تَعْمَلَ بَعْدَ هَذَا»

On the day of Hunayn we travelled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we journeyed for a long time until the evening came. I attended the prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A horseman came and said: Messenger of Allah, I went before you and climbed a certain mountain where saw Hawazin all together with their women, cattle, and sheep, having gathered at Hunayn. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled and said: That will be the booty of the Muslims tomorrow if Allah wills. He then asked: Who will be on guard tonight? Anas ibn AbuMarthad al-Ghanawi said: I shall , Messenger of Allah. He said: Then mount your horse. He then mounted his horse, and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah said to him: Go forward to this ravine till you get to the top of it. We should not be exposed to danger from your side. In the morning the Apostle of of Allah ﷺ came out to his place of prayer, and offered two rak'ahs. He then said: Have you seen any sign of your horseman? They said: We have not, Messenger of Allah. The announcement of the time for prayer was then made, and while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was saying the prayer, he began to glance towards the ravine. When he finished his prayer and uttered salutation, he said: Cheer up, for your horseman has come. We therefore began to look between the trees in the ravine, and sure enough he had come. He stood beside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saluted him and said: I continued till I reached the top of this ravine where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me, and in the morning I looked down into both ravines but saw no one. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him: Did you dismount during the night? He replied: No, except to pray or to relieve myself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You have ensured your entry to (Paradise). No blame will be attached to you supposing you do not work after it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2501)
