Hadith 878
حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: أَرِقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ: ”لَيْتَ رَجُلاً صَالِحًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي يَجِيئُنِي فَيَحْرُسَنِي اللَّيْلَةَ“، إِذْ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ السِّلاَحِ، فَقَالَ: ”مَنْ هَذَا؟“ قَالَ: سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، جِئْتُ أَحْرُسُكَ، فَنَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا غَطِيطَهُ.
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that one night the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became restless and his sleep was disturbed. He (peace be upon him) said: "If only some righteous man from among my companions would come and stand guard for me." Suddenly, we heard the sound of weapons, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: "Who is it?" He replied: Sa'd. Then Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! I have come to stand guard for you. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) slept peacefully until we heard the sound of his snoring.
