حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ: " وَجَدْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي، وَسَمِعْتُهُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ "، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي سِنَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيُّ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ،، ، أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَخْبَرَ أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، غَزْوَةً قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ، فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَفَلَ مَعَهُمْ، فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الْقَائِلَةُ يَوْمًا فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ، فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ فِي الْعِضَاهِ يَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِالشَّجَرِ، وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَظِلُّ تَحْتَ ظل (١) شَجَرَةٍ، فَعَلَّقَ بِهَا سَيْفَهُ، قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَنِمْنَا بِهَا نَوْمَةً، ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُونَا فَأَتَيْنَاهُ، فَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ جَالِسٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ هَذَا اخْتَرَطَ سَيْفَهُ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ، وَهُوَ فِي يَدِهِ صَلْتًا، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ فَقُلْتُ: اللهُ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ فَقُلْتُ: اللهُ، فَشَامَ سَيْفَه (١) وَجَلَسَ "، فَلَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for jihad towards Najd, and I was also with him on the return. On the way back, at noon, we reached a large valley full of thorny trees, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stopped there. Everyone went off to the shade of the trees here and there. The Prophet (ﷺ) rested under an acacia tree and hung his sword on the tree, and we all fell asleep. We had slept only a little when we woke up and saw that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was calling us, and a Bedouin was sitting with him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "While I was sleeping, this man drew my own sword against me. I woke up and saw that a naked sword was in his hand. He said: 'Now who will save you from me?' I said: 'Allah will save me.' Out of fear, the sword fell from his hand." Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not take any revenge on him, even though he had done such a thing.
