[6231] 40 - (...) ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stayed up late one night when he first came to Al-Madînah, and he said: ‘Would that a righteous man from among my Companions would guard me tonight.’ While we were like that, we heard the clatter of a weapon. He said: ‘Who is this?’ He said: ‘Sa’d bin Abî Waqqâs.’ The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘What brings you here?’ He said: ‘I felt some fear for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ so I came to guard him.’ The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed for him, then he went to sleep.” According to the report of Ibn Rumh: “We said: ‘Who is this?’”
