[5950] 13 – (843) It was narrated that Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah on a campaign towards Najd. The Messenger of Allah caught up with us in a valley that abounded in thorny trees. The Messenger of Allah stopped beneath a tree and hung his sword on one of its branches. The people scattered throughout the valley, seeking shade beneath the trees. The Messenger of Allah said: 'A man came to me while I was sleeping and took the sword, then I woke up to find him standing over my head, and I did not realize (that he was there) until the sword was unsheathed in his hand. He said to me: "Who will protect you against me?" I said: "Allah." He said a second time: "Who will protect you against me?" I said: "Allah." Then he sheathed the sword, and he is sitting over there.' Then the Messenger of Allah left him alone." Virtues And Merits of Prophets 141
