وَقَالَ أَبَانُ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ , عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ جَابِرٍ , قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ فَإِذَا أَتَيْنَا عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ ظَلِيلَةٍ تَرَكْنَاهَا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَسَيْفُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُعَلَّقٌ بِالشَّجَرَةِ فَاخْتَرَطَهُ فَقَالَ : تَخَافُنِي ؟ قَالَ : " لَا " , قَالَ : فَمَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي ؟ قَالَ : " اللَّهُ " , فَتَهَدَّدَهُ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرُوا , وَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الْأُخْرَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ , وَكَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعٌ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ , وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ : اسْمُ الرَّجُلِ غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ وَقَاتَلَ فِيهَا مُحَارِبَ خَصَفَةَ .
(through another group of narrators) Jabir said: "We were in the company of the Prophet (during the battle of) Dhat-ur-Riqa', and we came across a shady tree and we left it for the Prophet (to take rest under its shade). A man from the pagans came while the Prophet's sword was hanging on the tree. He took it out of its sheath secretly and said (to the Prophet ), 'Are you afraid of me?' The Prophet said, 'No.' He said, 'Who can save you from me?' The Prophet said, Allah.' The companions of the Prophet threatened him, then the Iqama for the prayer was announced and the Prophet offered a two rak`at Fear prayer with one of the two batches, and that batch went aside and he offered two rak`a-t with the other batch. So the Prophet offered four rak`at but the people offered two rak`at only." (The subnarrator) Abu Bishr added, "The man was Ghaurath bin Al-Harith and the battle was waged against Muharib Khasafa."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In one narration, it is clarified that a Bedouin named Ghawrath bin Harith intended to harm the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), but he was not successful.
During this incident, Jibril (alayhis salam) struck his chest, causing the sword to fall from his hand.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then took the sword in his own hand and said:
“Tell me, now who can save you?”
He replied, “No one will save me.”
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Go and take your way.”
He let him go and said nothing further.
As he was leaving, the man said, “You have proved to be better than me.”
➋
From this story, it is understood that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to show gentleness to the disbelievers so that they might accept Islam.
Waqidi has said that this man, being impressed by the character of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), became Muslim, and when he went to his people, many people accepted Islam at his hands.
