٣٤٣٢٤ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون عن يحيى بن سعيد أن عبد اللَّه أخبره أن عائشة كانت تحدث أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ سهر ذات ليلة وهو إلى جنبي، قالت: فقلت: يا رسول اللَّه ما شأنك؟ فقال: "ليت رجلًا صالحا من أمتي يحرسني الليلة"، قال: فبينا نحن كذلك إذ سمعت صوت السلاح، فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "من هذا؟ " فقال: أنا سعد بن مالك، قال: "ما جاء بك؟ " قلت: جئت أحرسك يا رسول اللَّه، قال: فسمعت غطيط رسول اللَّه ﷺ في نومه (١).
Hazrat Abdullah, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that Hazrat Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, used to say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stayed awake one night while he was beside me. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! What has happened to you? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Would that some righteous man from my Ummah would guard me tonight. Hazrat Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, says: While we were in this state, I heard the sound of weapons, so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked: Who is it? A voice replied: I am Sa’d bin Malik. He, peace and blessings be upon him, asked: Why have you come? He said: O Messenger of Allah! I have come to guard you. Hazrat Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, says: Then I heard the sound of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, snoring in his sleep.
