عَن جَابر أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قبل نجد فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ مَعَهُ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الْقَائِلَةُ فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ يَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِالشَّجَرِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ سَمُرَةٍ فَعَلَّقَ بِهَا سَيْفَهُ وَنِمْنَا نَوْمَةً فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُونَا وَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ هَذَا اخْتَرَطَ ⦗١٤٦٠⦘ عَلَيَّ سَيْفِي وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَهُوَ فِي يَدِهِ صَلتا. قَالَ: مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ فَقُلْتُ: اللَّهُ ثَلَاثًا " وَلَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ وَجلسَ. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Sayyiduna Jabir رضي الله عنه narrated: I participated in a jihad (crusade) with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم towards Najd. When he returned, I too came back with him. We came to a valley full of thorny trees in the afternoon (and decided to have a nap). Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم alighted and the people dispersed (here and there) seeking shade under trees. Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came down under an acacia tree on which he hung his sword. We took a nap. Suddenly, we heard Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم call us and we saw an Arab villager with him. He said, "This man had unsheathed my sword against me when I was asleep. When I awoke I saw it so in his hand and he asked me, 'Who will protect you from me?' I said three times, 'Allah,'" He did not punish him, but sat down. [1]
