He dismounted beneath one of the trees and hung his sword on a branch, while the people dispersed throughout the valley seeking shade beneath the trees.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
" إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَانِي وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ فَأَخَذَ السَّيْفَ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِي، وَالسَّيْفُ صَلْتًا فِي يَدِهِ.
فَقَالَ:
