Bayhaqi 18448 — The prayer of the guard

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي صَدَقَةُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ مِنْ نَخْلٍ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ: فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْزِلًا فَقَالَ: " مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَكْلَؤُنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ؟ " فَانْتَدَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَا: نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَكُونَا بِفَمِ الشِّعْبِ ". فَلَمَّا أَنْ خَرَجَا إِلَى فَمِ الشِّعْبِ قَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ لِلْمُهَاجِرِيِّ: أِيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ أَكْفِيَكَ أَوَّلَهُ أَوْ آخِرَهُ؟ قَالَ: بَلِ اكْفِنِي أَوَّلَهُ. فَاضْطَجَعَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ فَنَامَ، وَقَامَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يُصَلِّي، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the campaign of Dhat al-Riqa'. He mentioned the hadith, and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) camped at a place and said: "Who will guard us tonight?" One man from the Muhajirun and one from the Ansar volunteered. They both said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we (will)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then both of you stay at the mouth of the valley." When the two of them reached the valley, the Ansari said to the Muhajir: "Which part of the night would you prefer me to keep guard for you, the first part or the last?" He said: "Keep guard for me in the first part of the night." So the Muhajir lay down and slept, while the Ansari stood up to pray. Then he mentioned the (rest of the) hadith.
