Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah

It is narrated from Hazrat Thabit Banani (may Allah have mercy on him) that Hazrat Abdullah bin Rabah (may Allah have mercy on him) was narrating hadith to the people in the central mosque, while among the people was also Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Who is this young man?" They replied, "He is a person from among the Ansar." So Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "People are well aware of their own hadith, reflect on how you are narrating hadith, for I was the seventh among seven people with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that night." Then Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I do not think that anyone besides me remains who remembers this hadith." So they said, "I heard Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate that we were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: 'If you do not find water tomorrow, you will become thirsty, so the hasty people set out.' Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) says, 'And I stayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that night, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to doze off while sitting on his camel, then he slept (and leaned to one side on the camel), so I supported him. Then he dozed off a second time and leaned to one side, so I supported him. Then he dozed off and leaned to one side until he was about to fall, then he woke up. I supported him and straightened him, so he said: "Who is this person?" I said, "Abu Qatadah." He asked: "How long have you been walking like this?" I said, "Since the night." So he said: "May Allah protect you as you have protected His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then he said: "If we camp at the end of the night, it will be better." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) leaned towards a tree and I leaned with him. He asked: "Do you see anyone?" I said, "Yes, here is a rider, here is a rider, here are two riders, here are three riders," until we became seven. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Guard our prayer, so that we do not miss the Fajr prayer." So they all slept until the heat of the sun woke them. Then they got up and went a little distance and camped. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you have water?" I said, "Yes, I have water in my ablution vessel." He said: "Bring it to me." I brought the vessel to him, and he said: "Take from it, take from it." So we all performed ablution from it, and a sip remained in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Qatadah, save it, for there is a wondrous news for it." Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the call to prayer, then they performed two rak'ahs of Fajr, then they performed the Fajr prayer, then they mounted (and set off). Some people, talking among themselves, said, "We have been negligent in performing our prayer (what is its expiation)?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What are you saying? If it is a worldly matter, you know best, and if it is a religious matter, then refer it to me." We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have been negligent in our prayer." He said: "Indeed, there is no negligence in sleep, rather negligence is in wakefulness. When any one of you forgets his prayer, let him pray it when he remembers, and on the next day, let him perform it at its time." Then the complete hadith was mentioned.
