Book 56: Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad)
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet (ﷺ) was vigilant one night and when he reached Medina, he said, “Would that a pious man
from my companions guard me tonight!” Suddenly we heard the clatter of arms. He said, “Who is
that? ” He (The new comer) replied, ” I am Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas and have come to guard you.” So,
the Prophet (ﷺ) slept (that night).
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ خَلِيلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ تَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَهِرَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ ” لَيْتَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِي صَالِحًا يَحْرُسُنِي اللَّيْلَةَ ”. إِذْ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ سِلاَحٍ فَقَالَ ” مَنْ هَذَا ”. فَقَالَ أَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، جِئْتُ لأَحْرُسَكَ. وَنَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
