Volume 4 Book 52 Hadith 158

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 158:
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
That he proceeded in the company of Allah’s Apostle towards Najd to participate in a Ghazwa.
(Holy-battle) When Allah’s Apostle returned, he too returned with him. Midday came upon them
while they were in a valley having many thorny trees. Allah’s Apostle and the people dismounted and
dispersed to rest in the shade of the trees. Allah’s Apostle rested under a tree and hung his sword on
it. We all took a nap and suddenly we heard Allah’s Apostle calling us. (We woke up) to see a
bedouin with him. The Prophet said, “This bedouin took out my sword while I was sleeping and
when I woke up, I found the unsheathed sword in his hand and he challenged me saying, ‘Who will
save you from me?’ I said thrice, ‘Allah.’ The Prophet did not punish him but sat down.
