حديث جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ نَجْدٍ فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَتْهُ الْقَائِلَةُ، وَهُوَ فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ، فَنَزَلَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ، وَاسْتَظَلَّ بِهَا، وَعَلَّقَ سَيْفَهُ فَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ فِي الشَّجَرِ يَسْتَظِلُّونَ وَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ دَعَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَجِئْنَا، فَإِذَا أَعْرَابِيٌّ قَاعِدٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هذَا أَتَانِي وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَاخْتَرَطَ سَيْفِي فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِي، مُخْتَرِطٌ صَلْتًا قَالَ: مَنْ يَمْنَعكَ مِنِّي قُلْتُ: اللهُ فَشَامَهُ، ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَهُوَ هذَا قَالَ: وَلَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ.
Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:
We took part in the Ghazwa of Najd along with Allâh's Messenger ﷺ and when the time for the afternoon rest approached while he was in a valley with plenty of thorny trees, he dismounted under a tree and rested in its shade and hung his sword (on it). The people dispersed amongst the trees in order to have shade. While we were in this state, Allâh's Messenger ﷺ called, and we came and found a bedouin sitting in front of him.The Prophet ﷺ said, "This (bedouin) came to me while I was asleep, and he took my sword stealthily. I woke up while he was standing by my head, holding my sword without its sheath. He said, 'Who will save you from me?' I replied, 'Allâh.' So he sheathed it (i.e. the sword) and sat down, and here he is." But Allâh's Messenger ﷺ did not punish him. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 460, Vol. 5)
