حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سِنَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيُّ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ أَخْبَرَ
أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ، فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَفَلَ مَعَهُ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الْقَائِلَةُ فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ، فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ يَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِالشَّجَرِ. فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ سَمُرَةٍ وَعَلَّقَ بِهَا سَيْفَهُ. وَنِمْنَا نَوْمَةً فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْعُونَا وَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذَا اخْتَرَطَ عَلَىَّ سَيْفِي، وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَهْوَ فِي يَدِهِ صَلْتًا، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ فَقُلْتُ: اللَّهُ ثَلاَثًا» وَلَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ وَجَلَسَ

That he proceeded in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ towards Najd to participate in an expedition. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned, he too returned with him. Midday came upon them while they were in a valley having many thorny trees. Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people dismounted and dispersed to rest in the shade of the trees. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rested under a tree and hung his sword on it. We all took a nap and suddenly we heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ calling us. (We woke up) to see a bedouin with him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "This bedouin took out my sword while I was sleeping and when I woke up, I found the unsheathed sword in his hand and he challenged me saying, 'Who will save you from me?' I said thrice, 'Allah.'" The Prophet ﷺ did not punish him but sat down.
