595. Narrated Abī Qatāda: One night we were travelling with the Prophet ﷺ and some people said, "We wish that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would take 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." Bilāl said, "I will make you get up." So, all slept and Bilāl rested his back against his Rāhila 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 Bilāl! What about your statement?" He replied, "I have never slept such a sleep." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh جَلَّ بخله took your souls when He wished, and returned them to you when He wished. O Bilāl! Get up and pronounce the Adhān for As-Salāt (the prayer)." The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution and when the sun came up and became bright, he stood up and offered the Salāt (prayer).

595 - حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سِرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً، فَقَالَ: بَعْضُ القَوْمِ: 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 صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا بِلاَلُ، أَيْنَ مَا قُلْتَ؟» قَالَ: مَا أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيَّ 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
