Sunan Abi Dawud 5228 (Book 43, Hadith 456) #25519
Guarding Allah's Messenger

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was on a journey and the people became thirsty. Abu Qatadah guarded the Prophet ﷺ and in return, the Prophet ﷺ prayed for Allah to guard Abu Qatadah.

Abu Qatadah said: The Prophet was on journey. The people became thirsty, and they went quickly. I guarded the Messenger of Allah on that night. He said: May Allah guard you for the reason you have guarded His Prophet!
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ لَهُ فَعَطِشُوا فَانْطَلَقَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ فَلَزِمْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ حَفِظَكَ اللَّهُ بِمَا حَفِظْتَ بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ
