Sirat Ibn Hisham 211
His ﷺ account of Allah's protection of him in his childhood
[ حَدِيثُهُ ﷺ عَنْ عِصْمَةِ اللَّهِ لَهُ فِي طُفُولَتِهِ ] وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ - فِيمَا ذُكِرَ لِي - يُحَدِّثُ عَمَّا كَانَ اللَّهُ يَحْفَظُهُ بِهِ فِي صِغَرِهِ وَأَمْرِ جَاهِلِيَّتِهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتنِي فِي غِلْمَانِ قُرَيْشٍ نَنْقُلُ حِجَارَةً لِبَعْضِ مَا يَلْعَبُ بِهِ الْغِلْمَانُ، كُلُّنَا قَدْ تَعَرَّى، وَأَخَذَ إزَارَهُ فَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ، يَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْحِجَارَةَ؛ فَإِنِّي لَأُقْبِلُ مَعَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ وَأُدْبِرُ، إذْ لَكَمَنِي لَاكِمٌ مَا أَرَاهُ، لَكْمَةً وَجِيعَةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: شُدَّ عَلَيْكَ إزَارَكَ؛ قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُهُ وَشَدَدْتُهُ عَلَيَّ، ثُمَّ جَعَلْتُ أَحْمِلُ الْحِجَارَةَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِي وَإِزَارِي عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصْحَابِي
Translation
✧ [His ﷺ Account of Allah's Protection of Him in His Childhood] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—according to what was mentioned to me—used to relate about how Allah protected him in his childhood and during the time of his pre-Islamic affairs, that he said: I saw myself among the boys of Quraysh carrying stones for some of what the boys play with. All of us had stripped, and each took his loincloth and placed it on his neck, carrying the stones upon it. I was going back and forth with them like that, when someone whom I did not see struck me with a painful blow. Then he said: 'Tie your loincloth around you.' He said: So I took it and tied it around me, and then I carried the stones on my neck with my loincloth on me, among my companions.
