Bayhaqi 447 — Screening oneself when relieving oneself

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْآدَمِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ السِّمْسَارُ، ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ، ثنا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ مُجَاهِدٍ أَبِي حَزْرَةَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ، فَذَكَرَ قِصَّتَهُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَمْ يقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ بِإِدَاوَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ، فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا يَتَسَتَّرُ بِهِ، فَإِذَا شَجَرَتَانِ بِشَاطِيءِ الْوَادِي، فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى إِحْدَاهُمَا، فَأَخَذَ غُصْنًا مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا، فَقَالَ: " انْقَادِي عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ تَعَالَى ". فَانْقَادَتْ مَعَهُ كَالْبَعِيرِ الْمَخْشُوشِ الَّذِي يُصَانِعُ قَائِدَهُ، حَتَّى أَتَى الشَّجَرَةَ الْأُخْرَى، فَأَخَذَ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا، فَقَالَ: " انْقَادِي عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ تَعَالَى ". فَانْقَادَتْ مَعَهُ كَذَلِكَ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِالْمَنْصَفِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَأَمَ بَيْنَهُمَا يَعْنِي جَمَعَهُمَا فَقَالَ: " الْتَئِمَا عَلَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللهِ تَعَالَى ". ⦗١٥٣⦘ فَالْتَأَمَتَا. قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَجَلَسْتُ أُحَدِّثُ نَفْسِي، فَحَانَتْ مِنِّي لَفْتَةٌ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُقْبِلٌ، وَإِذَا الشَّجَرَتَانِ قَدِ افْتَرَقَتَا، فَقَامَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا عَلَى سَاقٍ، وَذَكَرَ بَاقِي الْحَدِيثِ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to relieve himself, and I followed him (peace and blessings be upon him) with a vessel of water. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see anything behind which to screen himself. There were two trees at the edge of the valley. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to one of them, took hold of one of its branches and said: "Submit to me by the command of Allah." So it submitted and went along with him (peace and blessings be upon him) like a docile camel that follows its leader, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the other tree, took hold of one of its branches and said: "Submit to me by the command of Allah." And it too submitted in the same way. Joining the two of them, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Join together over me by the command of Allah." So the two of them joined together. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I sat talking to myself, and when I glanced, suddenly the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was before me, and the trees had separated, each standing in its own place.
