Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 407 — the Companions travelled with the Messenger

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خُلَيْدٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو تَوْبَةَ قَالَ : نَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي السَّلُولِيُّ .
عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ ، أَنَّهُمْ سَارُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ ، فَأَطْنَبُوا السَّيْرَ حَتَّى كَانَ عَشِيَّةً ، فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَارِسٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ ، حَتَّى طَلَعْتُ جَبَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَإِذَا أَنَا بِهَوَازِنَ عَلَى بَكْرَاتِهِمْ ، بِظُعُنِهِمْ ، وَنَعَمِهِمْ ، وَشَائِهِمُ ، اجْتَمَعُوا إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ ، فَتَبَسَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَقَالَ : تِلْكَ غَنَائِمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ جَمِيعًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ . ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " مَنْ حَارِسُنَا اللَّيْلَةَ ؟ I " فَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْثَدٍ الْغَنَوِيُّ : أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ . فَقَالَ : I " ارْكَبْ I " ، فَرَكِبَ فَرَسًا لَهُ ، فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " اسْتَقْبِلْ هَذَا الشِّعْبَ ، حَتَّى تَكُونَ فِي أَعْلَاهُ وَلَا نُغَرَّنَّ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ اللَّيْلَةَ I " ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُ ، فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " هَلْ حَسَسْتُمْ فَارِسَكُمْ ؟ I " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا حَسَسْنَاهُ . فَثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ، وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : I " أَبْشِرُوا ، فَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ فَارِسُكُمْ I " ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَنْظُرُ إِلَى خِلَالِ الشَّجَرِ فِي الشِّعْبِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ جَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : إِنِّي قَدِ انْطَلَقْتُ ، حَتَّى كُنْتُ فِي أَعْلَى هَذَا الشِّعْبِ ، حَيْثُ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ طَلَعْتُ الشِّعْبَتَيْنِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا ، فَنَظَرْتُ ، فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " قَدْ أَوْجَبْتَ ، فَلَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ بَعْدَهَا .
لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin al-Hanzaliyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) travelled with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Hunayn. They kept travelling without a break until evening came and the time of prayer arrived while they were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then a horseman came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I went ahead of you (as a scout) until I climbed such-and-such a mountain, and suddenly I saw that the tribe of Hawazin, with their mounts, their women, their children, their cattle and their sheep, had gathered at Hunayn." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled at this and said: "If Allah wills, they will all be spoils of war for the Muslims." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will stand guard for us tonight?" Sayyiduna Anas bin Abi Marthad al-Ghanawi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah, I am here." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Mount up." So he mounted his horse and came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Go towards this mountain pass until you reach its top, and let no (surprise) attack (by night) reach us from your side tonight." The narrator said: When morning came, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to his place of prayer and offered two rak'ahs, then asked: "Have you had any news of your horseman?" A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have had no news of him." Then the iqamah was called for the prayer, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) kept glancing towards that pass even during the prayer, until, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had completed the prayer and said the salam, he said: "Rejoice, your horseman has come." We began looking between the trees in the pass, and suddenly there he came, until he stopped before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I went until I reached the top of this pass where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered me; then, when morning came, I climbed both peaks and looked, but I did not see anyone." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have made (Paradise) obligatory (for yourself); now there is no harm upon you even if you do not do (voluntary) deeds after this."
This hadith is narrated only with this chain; Mu'awiyah bin Sallam (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
