أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، ثَنَا عَفَّانُ، ثَنَا أَبَانُ الْعَطَّارُ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ:
أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ كُنَّا إِذَا أَتَيْنَا شَجَرَةً ظَلِيلَةً تَرَكْنَاهَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَسَيْفُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُعَلَّقٌ بِشَجَرَةٍ، فَأَخَذَ سَيْفَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺ فَاخْتَرَطَهُ، فَقَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: تَخَافُنِي ؟ قَالَ: " لَا "، قَالَ: فَمَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي ؟ قَالَ: " اللهُ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ "، قَالَ: فَتَهَدَّدَهُ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: فَغَمَدَ السَّيْفَ وَعَلَّقَهُ، قَالَ: فَنُودِيَ بِالصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرُوا فَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الْأُخْرَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ: فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ.

We set out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until, when we were at Dhāt al-Riqāʿ, whenever we came to a shady tree we would leave it for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: A man from the polytheists came while the sword of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was hanging from a tree. He took the sword of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ and drew it, and said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Do you fear me?" He said: "No." He said: "Then who will protect you from me?" He said: "Allah will protect me from you." He said: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ threatened him. He said: So he sheathed the sword and hung it up. He said: Then the call to prayer was made. He said: He prayed two rakʿahs with one group, then they withdrew, and he prayed two rakʿahs with the other group. He said: So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed four rakʿahs, and the people prayed two.
