Hadith text

(through another group of narrators) Jabir said:"We were in the company of the Prophet (during the battle of) Dhat-ur-Riqa', and we came across a shady tree and we left it for the Prophet (to take rest under its shade). A man from the pagans came while the Prophet's sword was hanging on the tree. He took it out of its sheath secretly and said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), 'Are you afraid of me?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'No.' He said, 'Who can save you from me?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Allah.' The companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) threatened him, then the Iqama for the prayer was announced and the Prophet (ﷺ) offered a two rak`at Fear prayer with one of the two batches, and that batch went aside and he offered two rak`a-t with the other batch. So the Prophet (ﷺ) offered four rak`at but the people offered two rak`at only." (The subnarrator) Abu Bishr added, "The man was Ghaurath bin Al-Harith and the battle was waged against Muharib Khasafa

(ek doosre giroh ke narawiyon se) Jabir ne kaha: "Hum Nabi ke saath (Ghazwa) Dhat-ur-Riqa (mein) the, aur humari mulaqaat ek chhayedaar darakht se huee aur humne use Nabi ke liye chhod diya (aaram karne ke liye unki chhaye mein). Ek butparaston mein se ek shaks aaya jabke Nabi ki talwaar darakht par latki hui thi. Usne use gup-chup unke myaan se nikala aur (Nabi se) kaha, 'Kya tum mujhse darte ho?' Nabi ne kaha, 'Nahi.' Usne kaha, 'Kaun tumhe mujhse bacha sakta hai?' Nabi ne kaha, 'Allah.' Nabi ke sahaba ne unhe daantne ki koshish ki, phir namaz ke liye Iqama di gaee, aur Nabi ne do rakat ki Salat-al-Khauf ek giroh ke saath padhi, aur woh giroh alag hokar (jagah) le liya aur unhone doosre giroh ke saath do rakat aur padhi. Isliye Nabi ne chaar rakaten padhi magar logon ne sirf do rakaten padhi." (Doosre raawi, Abu Bishr ne joda, "Woh shaks Ghaurath bin Al-Harith tha, aur jung Muharib Khasafa ke khilaf thi.")
