حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سِرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةً فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لَوْ عَرَّسْتَ بِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ ” أَخَافُ أَنْ تَنَامُوا عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ ”. قَالَ بِلاَلٌ أَنَا أُوقِظُكُمْ. فَاضْطَجَعُوا وَأَسْنَدَ بِلاَلٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ فَنَامَ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدْ طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ ” يَا بِلاَلُ أَيْنَ مَا قُلْتَ ”. قَالَ مَا أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَىَّ نَوْمَةٌ مِثْلُهَا قَطُّ. قَالَ ” إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَبَضَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ حِينَ شَاءَ، وَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْكُمْ حِينَ شَاءَ، يَا بِلاَلُ قُمْ فَأَذِّنْ بِالنَّاسِ بِالصَّلاَةِ ”. فَتَوَضَّأَ فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَابْيَاضَّتْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى.
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada:
My father said, “One night we were traveling with the Prophet (ﷺ) and some people said, ‘We wish that
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) would take a rest along with us during the last hours of the night.’ He said, ‘I am afraid
that you will sleep and miss the (Fajr) prayer.’ Bilal said, ‘I will make you get up.’ So all slept and
Bilal rested his back against his Rahila and he too was overwhelmed (by sleep) and slept. The Prophet (ﷺ)
got up when the edge of the sun had risen and said, ‘O Bilal! What about your statement?’ He replied,
‘I have never slept such a sleep.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘Allah captured your souls when He wished, and
released them when He wished. O Bilal! Get up and pronounce the Adhan for the prayer.’ The Prophet (ﷺ)
performed ablution and when the sun came up and became bright, he stood up and prayed.”
