It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that one night we were travelling with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and we said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), if only we could halt on the ground and sleep while our mounts also grazed?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then who will guard us?" He said: I said: "I will." He said: Then my eyes were overcome by sleep, and nothing woke us until the sun had risen, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) too woke only at the sound of our talking. He said: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gave the call to prayer; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and led us in prayer.
