أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي صَدَقَةُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ مِنْ نَخْلٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْزِلًا فَقَالَ مَنْ رَجُلٌ يَكْلَؤُنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ؟ فَانْتَدَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَكُونَا بِفَمِ الشِّعْبِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ خَرَجَا إِلَى فَمِ الشِّعْبِ قَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ لِلْمُهَاجِرِيِّ أِيُّ اللَّيْلِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ أَكْفِيَكَ أَوَّلَهُ أَوْ آخِرَهُ؟ قَالَ بَلِ اكْفِنِي أَوَّلَهُ فَاضْطَجَعَ الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ فَنَامَ وَقَامَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يُصَلِّي فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
English Translation
Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us, from Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from Ahmad ibn Abd al-Jabbar, from Yunus ibn Bukayr, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Sadaqah ibn Yasar, from Ibn Jabir, from Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on the expedition of Dhat al-Riqa' from Nakhl — and he mentioned the hadith. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stopped at a place and said: Who will guard us tonight? A man from the Emigrants and a man from the Ansar volunteered. They said: We will, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Station yourselves at the mouth of the pass. When they went out, the Ansari said to the Emigrant: Which part of the night would you prefer I cover for you — the first half or the last? He said: Cover the first half for me. The Emigrant lay down and slept, while the Ansari stood in prayer — and he mentioned the rest of the hadith.
