Sahih al-Bukhari 7231

Hadith text

Narrated Aisha:One night the Prophet (ﷺ) was unable to sleep and said, "Would that a righteous man from my companions guarded me tonight." Suddenly we heard the clatter of arms, whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who is it?" It was said, "I am Sa`d, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have come to guard you." The Prophet (ﷺ) then slept so soundly that we heard him snoring. Abu `Abdullah said: `Aisha said: Bilal said, "Would that I but stayed overnight in a valley with Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of grass) around me (i.e., in Mecca)." Then I told that to the Prophet (ﷺ)

Aisha bataati hain: Ek raat Nabi (SAW) so nahi paaye aur kaha, 'Kaash mere sahaaba mein se koi neik shaks aaj raat meri hifaazat karta.' Achaanak humne hathiyaaron ki jhankaar suni, isper Nabi (SAW) ne pucha, 'Ye kaun hai?' Kaha gaya, 'Main Sa'd hoon, Aye Allah ke Rasool! Main aapki hifaazat karne aaya hoon.' Nabi (SAW) phir itni gehri neend so gaye ke humne unhein kharraate lete suna. Abu Abdullah ne kaha: Aisha ne kaha: Bilal ne kaha, 'Kaash main ek raat aisi wadi mein guzaarta jahaan Idhkhir aur Jalil (do qism ki ghaasein) mere aas-paas hon (yaani Makkah mein).' Phir maine ye baat Nabi (SAW) ko bataayi.
