7231. Narrated ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها: One night the Prophet ﷺ was unable to sleep and said, “Would that a righteous man from my Companions guarded me tonight.” Suddenly we heard the clatter of arms, whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, “Who is it?” It was said, “I am Sa’d, O Allāh’s Messenger! I have come to guard you.” The Prophet ﷺ then slept so soundly that we heard him snoring. Abū ‘Abdullāh said: ‘Āishah said, “Bilāl said, 'Would that I but stayed overnight in a valley with Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of aromatic grass) around me (i.e., in Makkah).' Then I told that to the Prophet ﷺ.

7231 - حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: أَرِقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَقَالَ: «لَيْتَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي يَحْرُسُنِي اللَّيْلَةَ» إِذْ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ السِّلاَحِ، قَالَ: «مَنْ هَذَا؟»، قَالَ سَعْدٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، جِئْتُ أَحْرُسُكَ، فَنَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا غَطِيطَهُ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: قَالَ بِلاَلٌ: [البحر الطويل] «أَلاَ لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً ... بِوَادٍ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلُ» ، فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
