Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went in an expedition along with the Prophet ﷺ in the direction of Najd. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned, I also returned with him. Then the mid-day sleep overtook us in a valley full of prickly shrubs. Messenger of Allah ﷺ got down and the people scattered around seeking shade under the trees. Messenger of Allah ﷺ hang up his sword on the branch of a tree. We were enjoying a sleep when Messenger of Allah ﷺ called us, and lo! There was a desert Arab bedouin near him. He ﷺ said, "This man brandished my sword over me while I was asleep. I woke up and saw it in his hand unsheathed. He asked: 'Who will protect you from me?' I replied: 'Allah' - thrice". He did not punish him and sat down. Al-Bukhari and Muslim. In another narration, Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: We accompanied Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the campaign of Dhat-ur-Riqa. We left Messenger of Allah ﷺ to take rest under a shady tree. One of the polytheists came to him. The sword of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was hanging on a tree. He drew it and said: "Are you afraid of me?'' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No". Then he said: "Who will then protect you from me?'' Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Allah". And in a narration of Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili, the polytheist asked: "Who will protect you from me?'' Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Allah'.' As soon as he said this, the sword fell down from his hand and Messenger of Allah ﷺ catching the sword, asked him, "Who will protect you from me'.' He said, "Please forgive me'.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On condition you testify that there is none worthy of worship but Allah and that I am His Messenger'.' He said, "No, but I promise you that I shall not fight against you, nor shall I be with those who fight with you". The Prophet ﷺ let him go. He then went back to his companions and said: "I have come to you from one of the best of mankind".
