حَدَّثَنِي سِنَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سِنَانٍ الدُّؤَلِيُّ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَ أَنَّهُ غَزَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةً قِبَلَ نَجْدٍ فَلَمَّا قَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَفَلَ مَعَهُمْ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الْقَائِلَةُ يَوْمًا فِي وَادٍ كَثِيرِ الْعِضَاهِ فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ فِي الْعِضَاهِ يَسْتَظِلُّونَ بِالشَّجَرِ وَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَظِلُّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَعَلَّقَ بِهَا سَيْفَهُ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَنِمْنَا بِهَا نَوْمَةً ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُونَا فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ هَذَا اخْتَرَطَ سَيْفَهُ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَهُوَ فِي يَدِهِ صَلْتًا فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ“ فَشَامَ السَّيْفَ وَجَلَسَ فَلَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he participated in a military expedition towards Najd in the company of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the expedition, Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) also returned with the people. On the way back, during the journey, the caravan stopped in a valley where there were many thorny trees. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted at one place, and the people scattered here and there in search of shade under the thorny trees. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also stayed in the shade under a tree and hung his sword on the tree. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We went to our places and fell asleep. Meanwhile, we heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) calling us. When we came near him, we saw that a Bedouin was sitting with him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was asleep, and he came and drew my sword. When I woke up, the sword was in his hand, brandished. He said, "Who will save you from me?" I replied, "Allah will save me from your evil." He asked again, "Who will save you from me?" I said, "Allah, the Exalted." He then put the sword back in its sheath and sat down. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything to him, even though he had done such a great act.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Despite such a grave act, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forgave him.
