- "Face this people until you are at their highest point, and do not let them deceive you tonight." This is a portion of a ḥadīth from Sahl ibn al-Ḥanẓaliyyah, who narrated that they traveled with the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) on the day of Ḥunayn. They continued traveling until evening when the prayer time approached with the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). A horseman came and said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I went ahead of you until I reached such and such mountain, and I found Hawāzin gathered with their women, livestock, and sheep at Ḥunayn." The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) smiled and said: "That is the Muslims' booty tomorrow, if Allāh wills." Then he said: "Who will guard us tonight?" Anas ibn Abī Murthad al-Ghanawī said: "I will, O Messenger of Allāh." He said: "Then mount." So he mounted his horse and came to the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), who said: "the ḥadīth." When morning came, the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) went to his prayer place, performed two rakʿahs, and then said: "Have you sensed your horseman?" They said: "O Messenger of Allāh, we have not sensed him." Then the call to prayer was made, and while the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was praying, he kept looking towards the people until he finished his prayer and said: "Rejoice, for your horseman has come." We looked through the trees and saw him coming until he stood before the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and greeted him. He said: "I went until I was at the highest point of this people as the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) commanded me. When morning came, I ascended both sides of the valley and looked, but I saw no one." The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said to him: "Did you descend during the night?" He said: "No, except to pray or fulfill a need." The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: "You have fulfilled your duty, and you are not required to do anything after this." It was narrated by Abū Dāwūd (1/391-392) and al-Ḥākim (2/83-84) through the chain of Abū Tūbah al-Rabīʿ ibn Nāfiʿ al-Ḥalabī, who reported from Muʿāwiyah ibn Salām, who informed me from Zayd ibn Salām, who narrated from Abū Kabshah al-Salūlī that he heard it from Sahl ibn al-Ḥanẓaliyyah. Al-Ḥākim said:
- " استقبل هذا الشعب حتى تكون في أعلاه، ولا نغرن من قبلك الليلة ". هو قطعة من حديث سهل بن الحنظلية أنهم ساروا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليهوسلم يوم حنين فأطنبوا السير حتى كانت عشية فحضرت الصلاة عند رسول الله صلىالله عليه وسلم فجاء رجل فارس فقال: يا رسول الله إني انطلقت بين أيديكم حتىطلعت جبل كذا وكذا فإذا أنا بهوازن على بكرة آبائهم بظعنهم ونعمهم وشائهماجتمعوا إلى حنين. فتبسم رسول الله ﷺ وقال: تلك غنيمةالمسلمين غدا إن شاء الله تعالى، ثم قال:من يحرسنا الليلة؟ قال أنس بن أبي مرثد الغنوي: أنا يا رسول الله، قال:فاركب. فركب فرسا له، فجاء إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقال رسول اللهﷺ: الحديث، فلما أصبحنا خرج رسول الله ﷺإلى مصلاه فركع ركعتين ثم قال: هل أحسستم فارسكم؟ قالوا: يا رسول الله ماأحسسناه، فثوب بالصلاة فجعل رسول الله ﷺ وهو يصلي يلتفتإلى الشعب حتى إذا قضى صلاته وسلم قال: أبشروا فقد جاءكم فارسكم فجعلنا ننظرإلى خلال الشجر في الشعب فإذا هو قد جاء حتى وقف على رسول الله صلى الله عليهوسلم فسلم فقال: إني انطلقت حتى كنت في أعلى هذا الشعب حيث أمرني رسول اللهﷺ فلما أصبحت طلعت الشعبين كليهما فنظرت، فلم أر أحدا فقالله رسول الله ﷺ: هل نزلت الليلة؟ قال: لا إلا مصليا أوقاضيا حاجة، فقال له رسول الله ﷺ: قد أوجبت، فلا عليك ألاتعمل بعدها. أخرجه أبو داود (١ / ٣٩١ - ٣٩٢) والحاكم (٢ / ٨٣ - ٨٤) من طريق أبي توبةالربيع بن نافع الحلبي حدثنا معاوية بن سلام أخبرني زيد بن سلام حدثناأبو كبشة السلولي أنه سمع سهل بن الحنظلية به.وقال الحاكم:
