Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 9112 — We set out on the expedition of Dhat
حَدَّثَنَا مَسْعَدَةُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ التَّيْمِيُّ ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَكِيمِ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ . عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِحَرَّةِ وَاقِمٍ عَرَضَتِ امْرَأَةٌ بَدَوِيَّةٌ بِابْنٍ لَهَا ، فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، هَذَا ابْنِي قَدْ غَلَبَنِي عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْطَانُ ، فَقَالَ : I " أَدْنِيهِ مِنِّي ، فَأَدْنَتْهُ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : I " افْتَحِي فَمَهُ I " ، فَفَتَحَتْهُ ، فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " اخْسَأْ عَدُوَّ اللهِ ، وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ I " - قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ - ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " شَأْنُكِ بِابْنِكِ ، لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ بَأْسٌ ، فَلَنْ يَعُودَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا كَانَ يُصِيبُهُ I " .
ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا ضَحْوًا ، دَيْمُومَةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِجَابِرٍ : I " يَا جَابِرُ ، انْطَلِقْ فَانْظُرْ لِي مَكَانًا I " - يَعْنِي لِلْوُضُوءِ - فَخَرَجْتُ أَنْطَلِقُ ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا شَجَرَتَيْنِ مُفْتَرِقَتَيْنِ ، لَوْ أَنَّهُمَا اجْتَمَعَتَا سَتَرَتَاهُ ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا يَسْتُرُكَ إِلَّا شَجَرَتَيْنِ مُتَفَرِّقَتَيْنِ لَوْ أَنَّهُمَا اجْتَمَعَتَا سَتَرَتَاكَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " انْطَلِقْ إِلَيْهِمَا ، فَقُلْ لَهُمَا : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ لَكُمَا : اجْتَمِعَا I " قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا ، فَاجْتَمَعَا حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُمَا فِي أَصْلٍ وَاحِدٍ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ، فَقَالَ : I " ائْتِهِمَا ، فَقُلْ لَهُمَا : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ يَقُولُ : ارْجِعَا كَمَا كُنْتُمَا ، كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا I " ، فَرَجَعْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ لَكُمَا : I " ارْجِعَا كَمَا كُنْتُمَا I " ، فَرَجَعَتَا .
ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا فَنَزَلْنَا فِي وَادٍ مِنْ أَوْدِيَةِ بَنِي مُحَارِبٍ ، فَعَرَضَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُحَارِبٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، وَالنَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مُتَقَلِّدٌ سَيْفَهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، أَعْطِنِي سَيْفَكَ هَذَا ، فَسَلَّهُ ، وَنَاوَلَهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَهَزَّهُ وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ سَاعَةً ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي ؟ قَالَ : I " اللهُ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ I " ، فَارْتَعَدَتْ يَدُهُ حَتَّى سَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ ، فَتَنَاوَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " يَا غَوْرَثُ ، مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي ؟ I " قَالَ : لَا أَحَدَ ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنَا غَوْرَثًا وَقَوْمَهُ I " ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا رَاجِعِينَ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِعُشِّ طَيْرٍ يَحْمِلُهُ فِيهِ فِرَاخٌ ، وَأَبَوَاهُ يَتْبَعَانِهِ ، وَيَقَعَانِ عَلَى يَدِ الرَّجُلِ ، فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ : I " أَتَعْجَبُونَ بِفِعْلِ هَذَيْنِ الطَّيْرَيْنِ بِفِرَاخِهِمَا ؟ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ ، لَلَّهُ أَرْحَمُ بِعِبَادِهِ مِنْ هَذَيْنِ الطَّيْرَيْنِ بِفِرَاخِهِمَا I " .
ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا رَاجِعِينَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِحَرَّةِ وَاقِمٍ عَرَضَتْ لَنَا الْأَعْرَابِيَّةُ الَّتِي جَاءَتْ بِابْنِهَا بِوَطْبٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ وَشَاةٍ ، وَأَهْدَتْهُ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : I " مَا فَعَلَ ابْنُكِ ؟ هَلْ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا كَانَ يُصِيبُهُ ؟ I " قَالَتْ : وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا كَانَ يُصِيبُهُ ، وَقَبِلَ هَدِيَّتَهَا ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِمَهْبِطٍ مِنَ الْحَرَّةِ أَقْبَلَ جَمَلٌ يُرْقِلُ ، فَقَالَ : I " أَتَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ هَذَا الْجَمَلُ ؟ I " قَالُوا : اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : I " هَذَا جَمَلٌ جَاءَنِي يَسْتَعِيذُنِي عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ ، يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحْرُثُ عَلَيْهِ مُنْذُ سِنِينَ حَتَّى إِذَا أَجْرَبَهُ وَأَعْجَفَهُ وَكَبُرَ سِنُّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْحَرَهُ ، اذْهَبْ مَعَهُ يَا جَابِرُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ فَائْتِ بِهِ I " ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَعْرِفُ صَاحِبَهُ ، قَالَ : I " إِنَّهُ سَيَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِ I " ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مُعْتَقًا حَتَّى وَقَفَ بِي فِي مَجْلِسِ بَنِي خَطْمَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيْنَ رَبُّ هَذَا الْجَمَلِ ؟ قَالُوا : فُلَانُ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ ، فَجِئْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَخَرَجَ مَعِي حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " إِنَّ جَمَلَكَ هَذَا يَسْتَعِيذُنِي عَلَيْكَ ، يَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ حَرَثْتَ عَلَيْهِ زَمَانًا حَتَّى أَجْرَبْتَهُ وَأَعْجَفْتَهُ وَكَبُرَ سِنُّهُ ثُمَّ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَنْحَرَهُ ؟ I " قَالَ : وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " بِعْنِيهِ I " ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَابْتَاعَهُ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ سَيَّبَهُ فِي الشَّجَرَةِ حَتَّى نَصَبَ سَنَامًا ، وَكَانَ إِذَا اعْتَلَّ عَلَى بَعْضِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ أَوِ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ نَوَاضِحِهِمْ شَيْءٌ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَمَكَثَ بِذَلِكَ زَمَانًا .
قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ : قَالَ لِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ : كَانَتْ غَزْوَةُ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ تُسَمَّى غَزْوَةَ الْأَعَاجِيبِ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِلَّا عَبْدُ الْحَكِيمِ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ، وَلَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَكِيمِ إِلَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ .
ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا ضَحْوًا ، دَيْمُومَةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - لِجَابِرٍ : I " يَا جَابِرُ ، انْطَلِقْ فَانْظُرْ لِي مَكَانًا I " - يَعْنِي لِلْوُضُوءِ - فَخَرَجْتُ أَنْطَلِقُ ، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ إِلَّا شَجَرَتَيْنِ مُفْتَرِقَتَيْنِ ، لَوْ أَنَّهُمَا اجْتَمَعَتَا سَتَرَتَاهُ ، فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا يَسْتُرُكَ إِلَّا شَجَرَتَيْنِ مُتَفَرِّقَتَيْنِ لَوْ أَنَّهُمَا اجْتَمَعَتَا سَتَرَتَاكَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " انْطَلِقْ إِلَيْهِمَا ، فَقُلْ لَهُمَا : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ لَكُمَا : اجْتَمِعَا I " قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا ، فَاجْتَمَعَا حَتَّى كَأَنَّهُمَا فِي أَصْلٍ وَاحِدٍ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ، فَقَالَ : I " ائْتِهِمَا ، فَقُلْ لَهُمَا : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ يَقُولُ : ارْجِعَا كَمَا كُنْتُمَا ، كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا I " ، فَرَجَعْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ لَكُمَا : I " ارْجِعَا كَمَا كُنْتُمَا I " ، فَرَجَعَتَا .
ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا فَنَزَلْنَا فِي وَادٍ مِنْ أَوْدِيَةِ بَنِي مُحَارِبٍ ، فَعَرَضَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُحَارِبٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : غَوْرَثُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، وَالنَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - مُتَقَلِّدٌ سَيْفَهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، أَعْطِنِي سَيْفَكَ هَذَا ، فَسَلَّهُ ، وَنَاوَلَهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَهَزَّهُ وَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ سَاعَةً ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي ؟ قَالَ : I " اللهُ يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْكَ I " ، فَارْتَعَدَتْ يَدُهُ حَتَّى سَقَطَ السَّيْفُ مِنْ يَدِهِ ، فَتَنَاوَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ قَالَ : I " يَا غَوْرَثُ ، مَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّي ؟ I " قَالَ : لَا أَحَدَ ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنَا غَوْرَثًا وَقَوْمَهُ I " ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا رَاجِعِينَ ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِعُشِّ طَيْرٍ يَحْمِلُهُ فِيهِ فِرَاخٌ ، وَأَبَوَاهُ يَتْبَعَانِهِ ، وَيَقَعَانِ عَلَى يَدِ الرَّجُلِ ، فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ ، فَقَالَ : I " أَتَعْجَبُونَ بِفِعْلِ هَذَيْنِ الطَّيْرَيْنِ بِفِرَاخِهِمَا ؟ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ ، لَلَّهُ أَرْحَمُ بِعِبَادِهِ مِنْ هَذَيْنِ الطَّيْرَيْنِ بِفِرَاخِهِمَا I " .
ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا رَاجِعِينَ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِحَرَّةِ وَاقِمٍ عَرَضَتْ لَنَا الْأَعْرَابِيَّةُ الَّتِي جَاءَتْ بِابْنِهَا بِوَطْبٍ مِنْ لَبَنٍ وَشَاةٍ ، وَأَهْدَتْهُ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : I " مَا فَعَلَ ابْنُكِ ؟ هَلْ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا كَانَ يُصِيبُهُ ؟ I " قَالَتْ : وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا كَانَ يُصِيبُهُ ، وَقَبِلَ هَدِيَّتَهَا ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِمَهْبِطٍ مِنَ الْحَرَّةِ أَقْبَلَ جَمَلٌ يُرْقِلُ ، فَقَالَ : I " أَتَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ هَذَا الْجَمَلُ ؟ I " قَالُوا : اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : I " هَذَا جَمَلٌ جَاءَنِي يَسْتَعِيذُنِي عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ ، يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحْرُثُ عَلَيْهِ مُنْذُ سِنِينَ حَتَّى إِذَا أَجْرَبَهُ وَأَعْجَفَهُ وَكَبُرَ سِنُّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْحَرَهُ ، اذْهَبْ مَعَهُ يَا جَابِرُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ فَائْتِ بِهِ I " ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَعْرِفُ صَاحِبَهُ ، قَالَ : I " إِنَّهُ سَيَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِ I " ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مُعْتَقًا حَتَّى وَقَفَ بِي فِي مَجْلِسِ بَنِي خَطْمَةَ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيْنَ رَبُّ هَذَا الْجَمَلِ ؟ قَالُوا : فُلَانُ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ ، فَجِئْتُهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَخَرَجَ مَعِي حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " إِنَّ جَمَلَكَ هَذَا يَسْتَعِيذُنِي عَلَيْكَ ، يَزْعُمُ أَنَّكَ حَرَثْتَ عَلَيْهِ زَمَانًا حَتَّى أَجْرَبْتَهُ وَأَعْجَفْتَهُ وَكَبُرَ سِنُّهُ ثُمَّ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَنْحَرَهُ ؟ I " قَالَ : وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : I " بِعْنِيهِ I " ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، فَابْتَاعَهُ مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ سَيَّبَهُ فِي الشَّجَرَةِ حَتَّى نَصَبَ سَنَامًا ، وَكَانَ إِذَا اعْتَلَّ عَلَى بَعْضِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ أَوِ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ نَوَاضِحِهِمْ شَيْءٌ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ ، فَمَكَثَ بِذَلِكَ زَمَانًا .

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: We set out on the expedition of Dhat al-Riqa', until, when we reached Harrat Waqim, a Bedouin woman came before us with a son of hers. She came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is my son; Satan has overpowered him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring him near to me." She brought him near to him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Open his mouth." She opened it, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put some of his saliva into it, then said: "Be gone, O enemy of Allah! I am the Messenger of Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times, then said to the woman: "Take your son; there is no danger for him now. Nothing of the affliction that used to befall him will return to him."
Then we moved on and in the forenoon camped in an open, barren plain without water or vegetation, with no tree in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Jabir, go and look for a place for me," meaning for ablution and relieving himself. I went out and found nothing but two trees standing apart; had they been joined together, they could have made a screen. I returned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I saw nothing that could screen you except two separate trees; if they were joined together, they would cover you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to them both and say to them: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you both to come together." I went and told them this, and they came together as though they grew from a single root. Then I returned and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went there, and when he had finished relieving himself he came back and said: "Go to them and say to them: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) says: Become as you were before; let each return to its place." I went and said to them: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you both to become as you were." So they both went back.
Then we moved on and camped in one of the valleys of Banu Muharib. There a man of Banu Muharib named Ghawrath bin al-Harith confronted him (peace and blessings be upon him), while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had his sword slung on. He said: "O Muhammad, give me this sword of yours." He (peace and blessings be upon him) drew the sword from its sheath and handed it to him. He brandished it and kept looking at it for a while, then turned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Muhammad, who will protect you from me now?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah will protect me from you." At that his hand began to tremble until the sword fell from his hand. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) picked it up and said: "O Ghawrath, who will protect you from me now?" He said: "No one; may my father and mother be ransomed for you!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: 'Allahumma-kfina Ghawrathan wa qawmahu' (O Allah, suffice us against Ghawrath and his people). Then, as we were going back, a man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came carrying a bird's nest with chicks in it, and the chicks' parents were following him and alighting on the man's hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to his companions and said: "Do you wonder at how these two birds treat their chicks? By the One who sent me with the truth, Allah is far more merciful to His servants than these two birds are to their chicks."
Then, on our way back, when we reached Harrat Waqim, that same Bedouin woman who had brought her son came before us with a skin of milk and a goat, and presented them to him (peace and blessings be upon him) as a gift. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "How is your son? Has anything of his former affliction befallen him again?" She said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, nothing of his former afflictions has befallen him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted her gift. Then we moved on until we reached a low-lying spot of the Harrah, and a camel came running swiftly. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what this camel is saying?" The Companions said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This camel has come to me seeking refuge from its owner. It claims that he has used it for ploughing for years, and now that it has become mangy, emaciated and old, he wants to slaughter it. O Jabir, go with it to its owner and bring him to me." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I do not know its owner." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It will show you the way to him itself." Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It went ahead of me at a brisk pace until it brought me to a stop at the gathering of Banu Khatmah. I asked: "Where is the owner of this camel?" The people said: "So-and-so, son of so-and-so." I went to him and said: "Answer the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (he has called you)." He came out with me until he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "This camel of yours seeks refuge with me from you. It says that you used it for ploughing for a long time until it became mangy, emaciated and old, and then you decided to slaughter it?" He said: "By the One who sent you with the truth, it is just so." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Sell this camel to me." He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) bought it from him, then let it loose in the pasture until its hump stood up (it became healthy and strong). Then, whenever a water-carrying camel of one of the Muhajirun or the Ansar fell sick or became unfit for work, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would give that camel to him, and it remained of service in this way for a long time.
Ibrahim bin al-Mundhir said that Muhammad bin Talhah said to him: "The expedition of Dhat al-Riqa' used to be called the expedition of wonders (Ghazwat al-A'ajib)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Abd al-Hakim bin Sufyan narrated this hadith from Sharik bin Abdullah, and only Muhammad bin Talhah from Abd al-Hakim, and Ibrahim bin al-Mundhir is alone in narrating it."
Then we moved on and in the forenoon camped in an open, barren plain without water or vegetation, with no tree in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Jabir, go and look for a place for me," meaning for ablution and relieving himself. I went out and found nothing but two trees standing apart; had they been joined together, they could have made a screen. I returned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I saw nothing that could screen you except two separate trees; if they were joined together, they would cover you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to them both and say to them: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you both to come together." I went and told them this, and they came together as though they grew from a single root. Then I returned and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went there, and when he had finished relieving himself he came back and said: "Go to them and say to them: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) says: Become as you were before; let each return to its place." I went and said to them: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you both to become as you were." So they both went back.
Then we moved on and camped in one of the valleys of Banu Muharib. There a man of Banu Muharib named Ghawrath bin al-Harith confronted him (peace and blessings be upon him), while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had his sword slung on. He said: "O Muhammad, give me this sword of yours." He (peace and blessings be upon him) drew the sword from its sheath and handed it to him. He brandished it and kept looking at it for a while, then turned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Muhammad, who will protect you from me now?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah will protect me from you." At that his hand began to tremble until the sword fell from his hand. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) picked it up and said: "O Ghawrath, who will protect you from me now?" He said: "No one; may my father and mother be ransomed for you!" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: 'Allahumma-kfina Ghawrathan wa qawmahu' (O Allah, suffice us against Ghawrath and his people). Then, as we were going back, a man from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came carrying a bird's nest with chicks in it, and the chicks' parents were following him and alighting on the man's hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to his companions and said: "Do you wonder at how these two birds treat their chicks? By the One who sent me with the truth, Allah is far more merciful to His servants than these two birds are to their chicks."
