أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ
قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُحَارِبَ خَصَفَةَ بِنَخْلٍ فَرَأَوْا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غِرَّةً فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَوْفُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَوْ غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ «اللَّهُ» قَالَ فَسَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّيْفَ فَقَالَ لَهُ «مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي» قَالَ كُنَّ خَيْرًا مِنِّي قَالَ «تَشَهَّدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟ » قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ أُعَاهِدُكَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَكَ وَلَا أَكُونَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يُقَاتِلُونَكَ قَالَ فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ شَكَّ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِصَلَاةِ الْخَوْفِ قَالَ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ طَائِفَتَيْنِ طَائِفَةً بِإِزَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ وَطَائِفَةً يُصَلُّونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَكَانُوا مَكَانَ أُولَئِكَ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّوْا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fought Muharib Khasafah at Nakhl, and they saw an opportunity against the Muslims. A man from them called 'Awf b. al-Harith or Ghawrath b. al-Harith came and stood over the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a sword and said, 'Who will protect you from me?' He said, 'Allah.' Then the sword fell from his hand, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the sword and said to him, 'Who will protect you from me?' He said, 'Be better than me.' He said, 'Will you testify that there is no god but Allah?' He said, 'No, but I will make a pact with you that I will not fight you and will not be with a people who fight you.' So he let him go. He went back to his companions and said, 'I have come to you from the best of people.' When it was noon or afternoon—Abu 'Awanah was unsure—the Prophet ﷺ ordered the prayer of fear. The people were two groups: one group facing the enemy and one group praying with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He prayed two rak'ahs with the group that was with him, then they left and took the place of the others, and the others came and prayed two rak'ahs with the Prophet ﷺ. Thus the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had four rak'ahs and the people had two rak'ahs.
