Sub-Chapter (Baab)

Sahih Al Bukhari 595

Imām Bukhārī narrates: 'Imrān ibn Maisarah narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Fudail narrated to us, he said: Husain narrated to us, from 'Abdullāh ibn Abī Qatādah, from his father, he said:

We set out one night with the Prophet ﷺ. Some of the people said: O Messenger of Allāh! Would that you stop us in the last part of the night. He said: I fear that you will remain asleep at the time of prayer. Bilāl said: I will wake you all up. Then they all lay down, and Bilāl leaned against his riding animal, then sleep overcame his eyes, so he slept. Then the Prophet ﷺ awoke, and at that time an edge of the sun had already risen. He said: O Bilāl! Where has that word of yours gone? He said: I fell into such a deep sleep as I had never fallen into before. He said: Indeed, Allāh takes your souls when He wills, and returns your souls when He wills. O Bilāl! Stand up and give the adhān for the people. Then he performed wudū, then when the sun rose high and became white, he stood up and led the prayer.

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.‏
