حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: نَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ، عَنِ الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ قَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ. عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - ﷺ
كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَأَخَذَتْنِي وَحْشَةٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " مَا لَكِ ؟ " فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ظَلْمَاءَ، فَأَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ. فَقَالَ: كَلَّا، إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَبْعَثُ لَنَا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، يَكْلَؤُنَا بَقِيَّةَ لَيْلَتِنَا ". قَالَتْ: فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ سَوَادًا قَدْ أَقْبَلَ نَحْوَنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " مَنْ هَذَا ؟ " فَقَالَ: أَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، جِئْتُ أَكْلَؤُكَ بَقِيَّةَ لَيْلَتِكَ هَذِهِ، فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ، فَنَامَ

✧ We were on a journey, and I felt lonely at night. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'What is the matter with you?' I said: I am in this place on a dark night, and I fear for you. He said: 'No, indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will send us a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and whom Allah and His Messenger love, to guard us for the rest of our night.' She said: While I was like that, I saw a dark figure approaching us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Who is this?' He said: I am Sa'd b. Malik, I have come to guard you for the rest of this night of yours. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laid his head down and slept.
