وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ، ثَنَا حَفْصٌ، عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنَيْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ مُضْطَجِعُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَضَرَبَنَا بِعَسِيبٍ كَانَ بِيَدِهِ رَطْبًا، فَقَالَ: " تَرْقُدُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ؟! إِنَّهُ لَا يُرْقَدُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ " قَالَ: فَانْجَفَلْنَا وَانْجَفَلَ مَعَنَا عَلِيٌّ ؓ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: تَعَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ، إِنَّهُ يَحِلُّ لَكَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مَا يَحِلُّ لِي، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّكَ لَتَذُودُ عَنْ حَوْضِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، كَمَا يُذَادُ الْبَعِيرُ الضَّالُّ عَنِ الْمَاءِ بِعَصًا لَكَ مِنْ عَوْسَجٍ، وَلَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَقَامِكَ مِنْ حَوْضِي

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came while we were lying in the mosque, and he struck us with a fresh palm branch that was in his hand and said: "Do you sleep in the mosque?! Indeed, one should not sleep in the mosque." He said: "So we quickly got up, and Ali ؓ got up with us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'Come, O Ali. Indeed, what is permissible for me in the mosque is permissible for you. By Him in whose hand is my soul, you will drive away people from my pond on the Day of Resurrection, just as a stray camel is driven away from water with a stick you have made of 'awsaj. It is as if I am looking at your station beside my pond.'"
