حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ خَلِيلٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها

تَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَهِرَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ: «لَيْتَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِي صَالِحًا يَحْرُسُنِي اللَّيْلَةَ». إِذْ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ سِلَاحٍ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ هَذَا». فَقَالَ أَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، جِئْتُ لأَحْرُسَكَ. وَنَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was vigilant one night and when he reached Medina, he said, “Would that a pious man from my companions guard me tonight!” Suddenly we heard the clatter of arms. He said, “Who is that? ‘ He (The new comer) replied, ‘ I am Sad ibn Abi Waqqas and have come to guard you.’ So, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) slept (that night).’”

‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, (এক রাতে) আল্লাহর রাসূল (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) জেগে কাটান। অতঃপর তিনি যখন মদিনা্য় এলেন এই আকাঙ্ক্ষা প্রকাশ করলেন যে, আমার সাহাবীদের মধ্যে কোন যোগ্য ব্যক্তি যদি রাতে আমার পাহারায় থাকত। এমন সময় আমরা অস্ত্রের শব্দ শুনতে পেলাম।

তিনি জিজ্ঞেস করলেন, ইনি কে? ব্যক্তিটি বলল, আমি সা‘দ ইবনু আবূ ওয়াক্কাস, আপনার পাহারার জন্য এসেছি। তখন নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) ঘুমিয়ে গেলেন। (৭২৩১) (মুসলিম ৪৪/৫ হাঃ ২৪১০, আহমাদ ২৫১৪৭)

ہم سے اسماعیل بن خلیل نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو علی بن مسہر نے خبر دی، کہا ہم کو یحییٰ بن سعید نے خبر دی، کہا ہم کو عبداللہ بن ربیعہ بن عامر نے خبر دی، کہا کہ میں نے عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا سے سنا، آپ بیان کرتی تھیں کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ( ایک رات ) بیداری میں گزاری، مدینہ پہنچنے کے بعد آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”کاش!

میرے اصحاب میں سے کوئی نیک مرد ایسا ہوتا جو رات بھر ہمارا پہرہ دیتا!“ ابھی یہی باتیں ہو رہی تھیں کہ ہم نے ہتھیار کی جھنکار سنی۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے دریافت فرمایا ”یہ کون صاحب ہیں؟“ ( آنے والے نے ) کہا میں ہوں سعد بن ابی وقاص، آپ کا پہرہ دینے کے لیے حاضر ہوا ہوں۔

پھر نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم خوش ہوئے۔ ان کے لیے دعا فرمائی اور آپ سو گئے۔

Telah bercerita kepada kami [Isma'il bin Khalil] telah mengabarkan kepada kami ['Ali bin Mushir] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Yahya bin Sa'id] telah mengabarkan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin 'Amir bin Rabi'ah] berkata aku mendengar ['Aisyah radliallahu 'anha] berkata: "Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah berjaga-jaga (tidak tidur) di malam hari.

Ketika sampai di Madinah, Beliau bersabda: "Seandainya ada seorang sholih yang randa menjagaku di waktu malam". Ketika kami mendengar suara senjata, Beliau bertanya: "Siapakah itu".

Orang itu menjawab: "Saya Sa'ad bin Abu Waqosh datang untuk menjaga Tuan". Maka kemudian Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tidur

Hz. Aişe'nin şöyle dediği nakledilmiştir: "Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem Medine'ye hicret ettiği zaman bir gece düşman saldırısından endişe ettiği için uyuyamamış ve: "Keşke bu gece ashabımdan 'işini iyi bilen (salih) biri gelse de beni korusa!" diye temenni etmişti. Biz bu sırada bir silah gıcırtısı duyduk. Resul-i Ekrem Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem: "Kim var orada?"

diye sorunca gelen kişi şöyle dedi: "Ben Sa'd İbn Ebu Vakkas'ım, sizi korumak, burada nöbet tutmak üzere geldim!" Bunun üzerine Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem uyudu." Diğer tahric: Tirmizi Menakib; Müslim, Fedail

What it means

Abu Hurayrah was walking behind the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) while he was carrying a pot for the Prophet's ablution and cleansing purposes (from impurity). The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded him to bring him some stones which he could use to cleanse himself after answering the call of nature.

He instructed him not to bring any bones or animal dung. So Abu Hurayrah brought him some stones in the corner of his garment, put them next to him, and then left. When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had answered the call of nature, Abu Hurayrah asked him why he did not want to use bones and animal dung to cleanse himself with.

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told him that they were from the food of the Jinn. A delegation from the Jinn of Nasībayn — a famous city between Syria and Iraq — had once visited the Prophet, who lauded them, and asked him for food. So the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prayed that they would find food on any bones and animal dung that they would ever pass by.

The meaning of this was further specified and clarified in Sahīh Muslim: "For you is each bone on which the name of Allah is mentioned. When it falls in your hand, it will have plenty of flesh; and each piece of dung is fodder for your beasts."
