6950. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "(The Prophet) Ibrāhīm (Abraham) migrated with his wife Sārah till he reached a town where there was a king from amongst the kings, or a tyrant from amongst the tyrants who sent a message to Ibrāhīm, ordering him to send Sārah to him. So when Ibrāhīm had sent Sārah, the tyrant got up, intending to do evil with her, but she got up and performed ablution and offered Ṣalāt (prayer) and said, 'O Allāh! If I have believed in You and in Your Messenger, then do not empower this oppressor over me.' So he (the king) had an epileptic fit (or fell in a state of unconsciousness) and started moving his legs violently." [See Vol.4, Hadīth No.3363).

6950 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " هَاجَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِسَارَةَ، دَخَلَ بِهَا قَرْيَةً فِيهَا مَلِكٌ مِنَ المُلُوكِ، أَوْ جَبَّارٌ مِنَ الجَبَابِرَةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ: أَنْ أَرْسِلْ إِلَيَّ بِهَا، فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهَا، فَقَامَتْ تَوَضَّأُ وَتُصَلِّي، فَقَالَتْ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ، فَلاَ تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ الكَافِرَ، فَغُطَّ حَتَّى رَكَضَ بِرِجْلِهِ "
