5932 - وعن سهل بن الحنظلية، انهم ساروا مع رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يوم حنين ، فاطنبوا السير حتى كان عشية، فجاء فارس فقال: يا رسول الله. إني طلعت على جبل كذا وكذا، فإذا انا بهوازن على بكرة ابيهم. بظعنهم ونعمهم اجتمعوا إلى حنين، فتبسم رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وقال: (تلك غنيمة المسلمين غدا إن شاء الله تعالى) قال: (من يحرسنا الليلة) قال انس بن ابي مرثد الغنوي: انا يا رسول الله. قال: (اركب) فركب فرسا له. قال: (استقبل هذا الشعب حتى تكون في اعلاه) فلما اصبحنا خرج رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - إلى مصلاه فركع ركعتين، ثم قال: (هل حسستم فارسكم) فقال رجل: يا رسول الله! ما حسسنا، فثوب بالصلاة فجعل رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - وهو يصلي يلتفت إلى الشعب، حتى إذا قضى الصلاة قال: (ابشروا، فقد جاء فارسكم) فجعلنا ننظر إلى خلال الشجر في الشعب، فإذا هو قد جاء، حتى وقف على رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقال: إني انطلقت حتى كنت في اعلى هذا الشعب، حيث امرني رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فلما اصبحت طلعت الشعبين كليهما، فلم ار احدا فقال له رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: (هل نزلت الليلة) قال: لا إلا مصليا او قاضي حاجة. قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: (فلا عليك ان لا تعمل بعدها). رواه ابو داود.
Sahl b. al-Hanzaliya told that on the day of Hunain they travelled for a long time with God's messenger, and that in the evening a horseman came and said, "Messenger of God, I went up such and such a mountain and saw Hawazin all together with their women and animals, having collected at Hunain." God's messenger smiled and said, "That will be the booty of the Muslims to-morrow if God most high will." He asked who would go on guard that night, and when Anas b. Abu Marthad al-Ghanawi said he would, he told him to mount. Then when he had mounted a horse of his he said, "Go forward to this ravine till you get to the top of it." In the morning God's messenger came out to his place of prayer and after praying two rak'as he said, "Have you seen any sign of your horseman?" to which a man replied, "We have not, messenger of God." The announcement that the time of prayer had come was then made, and while God's messenger was saying the prayer he began to glance towards the ravine, and when he finished, he said, "Cheer up, for your horseman has come." They began to look between the trees in the ravine, and sure enough he had come. He came on and standing by God's messenger said, "I went till I reached the top of this ravine where God's messenger commanded me, and in the morning, I looked down into both ravines but saw no one." God's messenger asked him if he had dismounted during the night, and when he replied that he had not, except to pray or to relieve himself, God's messenger said, "No blame will apply to you if you do no more supererogatory deeds in future*." *Literally, "no blame will apply to you supposing you do not work (i.e., do anything) after it." The translation above is based on the explanation given in Mirqat, 5:478. ' Abu Dawud transmitted it.
