Hadith 2964

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَاتَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحَارِبَ خَصَفَةَ بِنَخْلٍ، فَرَأَوْا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غِرَّةً، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالسَّيْفِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟ قَالَ: ((اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ))، فَسَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي؟)) قَالَ: كُنْ كَخَيْرِ آخِذٍ، قَالَ: ((أَتَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟)) قَالَ: لَا، وَلَٰكِنِّي أُعَاهِدُكَ أَنْ لَا أُقَاتِلَكَ وَلَا أَكُونَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يُقَاتِلُونَكَ، فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ، قَالَ: فَذَهَبَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالَ: قَدْ جِئْتُكُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الظُّهْرُ أَوْ الْعَصْرُ صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ طَائِفَتَيْنِ، طَائِفَةٌ بِإِزَاءِ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَطَائِفَةٌ صَلَّوْا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَكَانُوا مَكَانَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بِإِزَاءِ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَكَانَ لِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ رَكْعَتَانِ، وَلِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the valley of Nakhl to fight the people of Muharib Khasafah. When those people observed some heedlessness among the Muslims, an enemy named Ghawrath bin Harith found an opportunity and came upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a sword over his head and said: Who will save you from me? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Allah. At that moment, the sword fell from his hand. Now the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) picked up the sword and said: Now who will save you from me? He said: Become the best man to hold this sword (i.e., do me a favor). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Do you bear witness that Allah alone is the true deity? He said: No. However, I promise you that I will neither come against you nor support those who fight you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) let him go. He returned to his companions and said: I have come from the best of men. Then, when the time for Zuhr or Asr came, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in the prayer of fear (Salat al-Khawf). The people were divided into two groups: one group remained facing the enemy, and the other group began to pray with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led this group in two rak‘ahs of prayer, then they left and stood in place of the other group, i.e., facing the enemy, and those people came for prayer. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also led them in two rak‘ahs. In this way, the people each performed two rak‘ahs, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed four.
