حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ لَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا مِنْ غَزْوَةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ
لَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا مِنْ غَزْوَةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ تَنَامُ، ثُمَّ أَعَادَ: مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: أَنَا حَتَّى عَادَ مِرَارًا، قُلْتُ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: فَأَنْتَ إِذًا قَالَ: فَحَرَسْتُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ وَجْهُ الصُّبْحِ، أَدْرَكَنِي قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّكَ تَنَامُ، فَنِمْتُ فَمَا أَيْقَظَنَا إِلَّا حَرُّ الشَّمْسِ فِي ظُهُورِنَا، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَنَعَ كَمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ وَرَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِنَا الصُّبْحَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَوْ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا تَنَامُوا عَنْهَا لَمْ تَنَامُوا، وَلَكِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا لِمَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ فَهَكَذَا لِمَنْ نَامَ أَوْ نَسِيَ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ نَاقَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَإِبِلَ الْقَوْمِ تَفَرَّقَتْ، فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ فِي طَلَبِهَا فَجَاؤُوا بِإِبِلِهِمْ إِلَّا نَاقَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: خُذْ هَهُنَا فَأَخَذْتُ حَيْثُ قَالَ لِي، فَوَجَدْتُ زِمَامَهَا قَدِ الْتَوَى عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ مَا كَانَتْ لِتَحُلَّهَا إِلَّا يَدٌ قَالَ: فَجِئْتُ بِهَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيًّا، لَقَدْ وَجَدْتُ زِمَامَهَا مُلْتَوِيًا عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ مَا كَانَتْ لِتَحُلَّهَا إِلَّا يَدٌ قَالَ: وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سُورَةُ الْفَتْحِ: إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا.

✧ When we returned from the expedition of al-Ḥudaybiyah, the Messenger of God ﷺ said: “Who will guard us tonight?” Abdullah said: “I said: ‘I will.’” He said: “You will fall asleep.” Then he repeated: “Who will guard us tonight?” I said: “I will,” until he repeated it several times. I said: “I will, O Messenger of God.” He said: “Then it is you.” He said: “So I guarded them until the face of dawn. Then the words of the Messenger of God ﷺ caught up with me: ‘You will fall asleep,’ and I slept. Nothing woke us except the heat of the sun on our backs. The Messenger of God ﷺ got up and performed the ablution as he used to, along with the two rakʿahs of dawn. Then he led us in the morning prayer. When he finished, he said: ‘God, Mighty and Majestic, if He had willed that you not sleep through it, you would not have slept. But He willed that you be an example for those after you; so this is the way for one who sleeps or forgets.’” He said: “Then the she-camel of the Messenger of God ﷺ and the camels of the people scattered. The people went out looking for them and brought back their camels, except for the she-camel of the Messenger of God ﷺ. Abdullah said: “The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: ‘Take this direction.’ So I took where he told me, and I found its halter twisted around a tree that only a hand could have untied.” He said: “I brought it to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of God, by the One who sent you with the truth as a prophet, I found its halter twisted around a tree that only a hand could have untied.’” He said: “And Sūrat al-Fatḥ descended upon the Messenger of God ﷺ: ‘Indeed, We have granted you a clear victory.’”
