Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he participated in a military expedition towards Najd in the company of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the expedition, Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) also returned with the people. On the way back, during the journey, the caravan stopped in a valley where there were many thorny trees. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted at one place, and the people scattered here and there in search of shade under the thorny trees. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also stayed in the shade under a tree and hung his sword on the tree. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We went to our places and fell asleep. Meanwhile, we heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) calling us. When we came near him, we saw that a Bedouin was sitting with him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was asleep, and he came and drew my sword. When I woke up, the sword was in his hand, brandished. He said, "Who will save you from me?" I replied, "Allah will save me from your evil." He asked again, "Who will save you from me?" I said, "Allah, the Exalted." He then put the sword back in its sheath and sat down. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything to him, even though he had done such a great act.
