English

[1562] 311 – (681) It was narrated from Ihâbit, from 'Abdullâh bin Rabâh, from Abü Ta-Ha 20:14. Masâjid And ['laces Of Prayer 188 Mall al.g L.aSl Qatâdah, who said: "The Messenger of Allah addressed us and said: 'You will travel all evening and all night, and you will come to some water tomorrow, if Allah wills.' The people set off without paying heed to one another." Abü Qatâdah said: "The Messenger of Allah traveled until halfway through the night, and I was by his side. Then the Messenger of Allah became drowsy and leaned to one side on his mount. I came to him and supported him without waking him up, until he sat upright on his mount. Then he traveled on until most of the night had passed, and he leaned to one side on his mount. I supported him without waking him up, until he sat upright on his mount. Then he traveled on until it was nearly dawn, and he leaned again, more so than on the two previous occasions, until he was about to fall. I came to him and supported him, and he raised his head and said: 'Who is this?' I said: 'Abü Qatâdah.' He said: 'How long have you been travelling with me like this?' I said: 'I have been travelling like this all night.' He said: 'May Allah take care of you as you have taken care of His Prophet.' Then he said: 'Do you think that we are hidden from the people?' Then he said: 'Do you see anyone?' I said: 'Here is a rider.' Then I said: 'here is another rider, until more gathered and we were seven riders in all.' The Messenger of Allah i1 turned off the road and lay dawn his head, then he said: 'Guard our prayer for us.' The first one to wake up was the Messenger of Allah , when the sun was on his back. We woke up, startled, then he said: 'Ride on.' So we rode on and traveled until the sun had risen, then he stopped and called for the water vessel I had with me, in which there was a little water. He performed Wuiâ' from it, using less water than usual. A little water was left in it, and he said to Abü Qatâdah, 'Guard your water vessel for us, for you will see something happen with it.' Then Bilâl called the Adhân and the Messenger of Allah il prayed two Rak'ah, then he prayed Al-Ghadâh (Fajr), and did (in prayer) as he did every day. The Messenger of Allah if rode on and we rode with him, and we began to whisper to one another, saying: 'What expiation is there for what we have done by neglecting our prayer?' Then he said: 'Do you not have an example in me?' Then he said: 'There is no negligence in sleep, rather negligence is the fault of one who does not pray until the time for the next prayer is due. Whoever does that, let him pray when he remembers it, and if it is the following day, then let him pray at the time of the prayer (that he missed).' Then he said: 'What do you think the people have done?" Then he said: "In the morning the people saw that their Prophet was not there. AN Bakr and 'Umar said: 'The Messenger of Allah is behind you; he would not leave 'ou behind.' But the people said: 'The Messenger of Allah is ahead of you. If you had obeyed AN Bakr and 'Umar, you would have been on the right path.'" "We reached the people when the sun had risen fully and everything was hot, and they were saying: '0 Messenger of Allah, we are dying, we are thirsty.' 'fie said: 'You will not die.' Then he said: 'Bring me my small cup.' He called for the vessel of water, and the Messenger of Allah jK started pouring it, and Abü Qatâdah gave themto drink. As soon as th6 people saw what wä in the vessel they fell upon it, and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Behave properly, for you will all have enough.' So they did that. The Messenger of Allah began to pour and I gave it to them to drink, until there was no one left but myself and the Messenger of Allah gj;. Then the Messenger of Allah poured some for me and said: 'Drink.' I said: 'I will not drink until you drink, 0 Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'The one who pours water is the last of them to drink.' So I drank and the Messenger of Allah drank, then the people reached the oasis having drunk :JU J their fill of water." He said: "Abdullâh bin Rabâh :JU said: 'I will narrate this HadIth in LJ; 3 the Jâmi' Masjid' and 'Imrân bin Husain said: 'Watch what you are th iai:3jUi narrating, 0 young man, for I was one of the riders that night.' I said: 'Then you know more about the HadIth.' He said: 'Who are you?' I said: 'One of the Ansâr.' He said: 'Then narrate it, for you know more about your AhadIth." He said: "So I narrated it to the people, and 'Imrân said: 'I was present that night and I did not think that anyone remembered it as I remember it."
