Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at Dhat al-Riqa’. Then we came to a place where there was a tree with very dense shade. We reserved that tree for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so that he could rest there. Later, a man from among the polytheists came, and the sword of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was hanging from the tree. He drew that sword upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked,“Do you fear me?”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied,“No.”Upon this, he asked,“Who will save you from me today?”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied,“Allah.”Then the companions scolded and threatened him, and when the call for prayer was made, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led one group in two units of the prayer of fear. When that group moved away from behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he led the second group in two units of prayer as well. In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performed four units of prayer, but the followers performed only two units each.
