Al-Bidayah wa an-NihayahIbn Kathir

Hammād ibn Salamah said:

Humayd al-Ṭawīl narrated to us, from Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Muzanī, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Rabāḥ, from Abū Qatādah, from the Prophet ﷺ, with the same wording, and he added:

“Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ halted to rest while there was still night, he would lie on his right side; and whenever he halted at daybreak, he would place his head on the palm of his right hand and raise his forearm.”

Muslim also related it, through Shaybān ibn Farrūkh, from Sulaymān ibn al-Mughīrah, from Thābit, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Rabāḥ, from Abū Qatādah al-Ḥārith ibn Ribʿī al-Anṣārī, in full. He likewise recorded it from Hammād ibn Salamah with the same chain.

Another ḥadīth from Anas resembles this:

Al-Bayhaqī reports—by way of the ḥāfiẓ Abū Yaʿlā al-Mawṣilī—who said: Shaybān narrated to us, Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān al-Ḍabʿī narrated to us, Anas ibn Mālik narrated to us: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched an army against the polytheists, Abu Bakr being among them, and said:

“Press on with your march, for there is a water source between you and the polytheists. If the polytheists reach that water first, it will trouble the people, and you and your mounts will suffer grievous thirst.”

He himself remained behind with eight men—I was the ninth—and said to his companions:

“Shall we bivouac for a short while and then catch up with the people?”

They replied, “Yes, Messenger of Allah.” So they camped, and nothing woke them but the heat of the sun. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ awoke, and so did his companions. He said:

“Go on ahead and tend to your needs.”

They did so and then returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who asked:

“Does anyone have any water?”

One man replied, “Messenger of Allah, I have a small water-skin with a little water in it.”

He said, “Bring it.” When it was brought, the Prophet of Allah ﷺ passed his hands over it and invoked blessing upon it. Then he said to his companions:

“Come and perform your ablution.”

He poured water over them until they had all performed ablution. One of them gave the call to prayer and the iqāmah, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in prayer. He then said to the owner of the water-skin:

“Keep your water-skin safe, for it will have its own story.”

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rode on ahead of the people and said to his companions:

“What do you think the people have done?”

They said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.”

He said, “Among them are Abu Bakr and ʿUmar, and they will guide the people aright.”

The army reached the water, but the polytheists had arrived before them; this weighed heavily upon the Muslims, and they and their mounts suffered severe thirst. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Where is the owner of the water-skin?”

They answered, “Here he is, Messenger of Allah.”

He said, “Bring me your water-skin.” It was brought to him, and there was still a little water in it. He said:

“Come and drink.”

He kept pouring out for them until everyone had drunk and their animals had been watered.

(2) Recorded by Muslim in his Sahih as hadith no. 681 under the chapter ‘Mosques.’ (3) In his Sahih as hadith no. 683, also under the chapter ‘Mosques.’ (4) He is identified as Sa‘id ibn Sulaym; others report his name as Sulayman al-Dhubbi or Dhuba‘i. A narrator other than Ibn ‘Adi mentions him in al-Kamil (vol. 3, p. 1238), judges him weak (da‘if), and attributes this hadith to him; al-Azdi deems him abandoned (mawru‘).

قال حمادُ بن سَلمة: وحدَّثنا حُميد الطويل، عن بكر بن عبد اللّه المزني، عن عبد اللّه بن رَباحِ، عن أبي قتادة، عن النَّبِيّ ﷺ بمثله، وزاد: قال: كان رسولُ اللّه ﷺ إذا عرَّسَ وعليه ليلٌ توسَّدَ يمينه، وإذا عرَّسَ الصبحَ وضع رأسَه على كفّه اليُمنى وأقام ساعدَه (١) . وقد رواه مسلم (٢) ، عن شيبانَ بن فروخ، عن سليمان بن المغيرة، عن ثابت، عن عبد اللّه بن رَبَاح، عن أبي قتادة الحارث بن رَبعي الأنصاري بطوله. وأخرج (٣) من حديث حماد بن سلمة، بسنده الأخير أيضًا. حديث آخر عن أنس يُشبه هذا: روى البيهقيّ من حديث الحافظ أبي يعلى الموصلي: حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبان، حَدَّثَنَا سعيدُ بن سُليمان الضَّبْعي (٤) ، حَدَّثَنَا أنس بن مالك، أن رسولَ اللّه ﷺ جهَّزَ جيشًا إلى المشركين، فيهم أبو بكر، فقال لهم: "جدُّوا (٥) السَّيرَ فإن بينكم وبين المشركين ماء، إن يَسبقِ المشركون إلى ذلك الماء شقَّ على الناس، وعطشتُم عطشًا شديدًا أنتم ودوابكم" قال: وتخلَّفَ رسولُ اللّه ﷺ في ثمانية أنا تاسعُهم، وقال لأصحابه: "هل لكم أن نُعرِّسَ قليلًا ثم نلحق بالناس؟ " قالوا: نعم يا رسولَ اللّه، لمحعرَّسُوا فما أيقظهم إِلَّا حرُّ الشمس، فاستيقظَ رسولُ اللّه ﷺ واستيقظَ أصحابُه، فقال لهم: "تقدَّموا واقضوا حاجاتِكم" ففعلوا ثم رجعوا إلى رسول اللّه ﷺ ، فقال لهم: "هل مع أحد منكم ماء؟ " قال رجل منهم: يارسولَ اللّه معي مَيْضأة فيها شيء من ماء، قال: "فجئ بها" فجاء بها، فأخذَها نبيُّ اللّه ﷺ فمسحَها بكفيه، ودعا بالبركة فيها، وقال لأصحابه: "تعالوا فتوضؤوا" فجاؤوا وجعلَ يصبُّ عليهم رسولُ اللّه ﷺ حتى توضؤوا كلُّهم، فأذن رجلٌ منهم وأقام، فصلَّى رسول اللّه ﷺ لهم، وقال لصاحب الميضأة: "ازدهرْ بميضأتِك فسيكون لها شأنٌ" . وركب رسولُ اللّه ﷺ قبلَ الناس، وقال لأصحابه: "ما ترون الناسَ فعلوا؟ " فقالوا: اللّه ورسولُه أعلم. فقال لهم: فيهم أبو بكر وعمر، وسيرشدُ الناس، فقدمَ الناسُ وقد سبقَ المشركون إلى ذلك الماء، فشقَّ ذلك على الناس وعطشوا عطشًا شديدًا ركابُهم ودوابُّهم، فقال رسول اللّه ﷺ : "أين صاحب الميضأة؟ " قالوا: هو ذا يا رسولَ اللّه، قال: "جئني بميضأتك" فجاء بها، وفيها شيءٌ من ماء، فقال لهم: "تعالوا فاشربوا" فجعلَ يصبُّ لهم رسولُ اللّه ﷺ ، حتى شربَ النَّاسُ كلُّهم، وسقَوا
