وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : عَرَّسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ ، وَوَكَّلَ بِلَالًا أَنْ يُوقِظَهُمْ لِلصَّلَاةِ . فَرَقَدَ بِلَالٌ وَرَقَدُوا حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَظُوا ، وَقَدْ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّمْسُ ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ الْقَوْمُ ، وَقَدْ فَزِعُوا . فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنْ يَرْكَبُوا حَتَّى يَخْرُجُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوَادِي ، وَقَالَ : " إِنَّ هَذَا وَادٍ بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ " فَرَكِبُوا حَتَّى خَرَجُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوَادِي ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنْ يَنْزِلُوا ، وَأَنْ يَتَوَضَّئُوا . وَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا أَنْ يُنَادِيَ بِالصَّلَاةِ أَوْ يُقِيمَ ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّاسِ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ فَزَعِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَبَضَ أَرْوَاحَنَا ، وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَرَدَّهَا إِلَيْنَا فِي حِينٍ غَيْرِ هَذَا ، فَإِذَا رَقَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ أَوْ نَسِيَهَا ثُمَّ فَزِعَ إِلَيْهَا ، فَلْيُصَلِّهَا كَمَا كَانَ يُصَلِّيهَا فِي وَقْتِهَا " . ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ
الشَّيْطَانَ أَتَى بِلَالًا وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فَأَضْجَعَهُ ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُهَدِّئُهُ كَمَا يُهَدَّأُ الصَّبِيُّ حَتَّى نَامَ " . ثُمَّ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَالًا ، فَأَخْبَرَ بِلَالٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ . فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Aslam that during the night, on the way to Makkah, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stopped and appointed Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to wake them up for prayer. But Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) fell asleep, and the people also slept. Then they woke up and the sun had risen, and the people became anxious (because the prayer had been missed). So the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordered them to mount so that they could leave that valley, and said: "There is a devil in this valley." So they mounted and left that valley. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordered them to dismount and perform ablution, and ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to give the adhan or the takbir. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) led the prayer with all the people. Then he turned towards the people and saw their anxiety, so he said: "O people! Indeed, Allah, the Exalted, has taken hold of our souls, and if He had willed, He would have returned our souls at another time besides this. So, when any of you sleeps through the prayer or forgets it, then when he wakes up anxiously for the prayer, he should pray it as he would pray it at its time." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) turned towards Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Satan came to Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was standing and praying, and made him lie down, then began to pat him as a child is patted, until he fell asleep." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) called Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) described his condition just as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) had said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I bear witness to this matter that you (peace be upon him) are the Messenger of Allah.
