Home Hadith Hadith 6957
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 Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have come to guard you." The Prophet (ﷺ) then
slept so soundly that we heard him snoring. Abu `Abdullah said: `Aisha said: Bilal said, "Would that I
but stayed overnight in a valley with Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of grass) around me (i.e., in
Mecca)." Then I told that to the Prophet (ﷺ) .

← Previous Hadith
We were in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and we assumed the state of Ihram of Hajj and arrived at
Mecca on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba
and (Sa`i) between As-Safa and Al-Marwa and use our lhram just for `Umra, and finish the state of
Ihram unless we had our Hadi with us. None of us had the Hadi with him except the Prophet (ﷺ) and
Talha. `Ali came from Yemen and brought the Hadi with him. `Ali said, 'I had assumed the state of
Ihram with the same intention as that with which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had assumed it. The people said,
"How can we proceed to Mina and our male organs are dribbling?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If I had
formerly known what I came to know latterly, I would not have brought the Hadi, and had there been
no Hadi with me, I would have finished my Ihram." Suraqa (bin Malik) met the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was
throwing pebbles at the Jamrat-Al-`Aqaba, and asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is this (permitted) for us
only?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied. "No, it is forever" `Aisha had arrived at Mecca while she was
menstruating, therefore the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered her to perform all the ceremonies of Hajj except the
Tawaf around the Ka`ba, and not to perform her prayers unless and until she became clean . When
they encamped at Al-Batha, `Aisha said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You are proceeding after performing
both Hajj and `Umra while I am proceeding with Hajj only?" So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered `Abdur-Rahman
bin Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to go with her to at-Tan`im, and so she performed the `Umra in Dhul-Hijja
after the days of the Hajj.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Not to wish to be the like except of two men. A man whom Allah has given the
(knowledge of the) Quran and he recites it during the hours of night and day and the one who wishes
says: If I were given the same as this (man) has been given, I would do what he does, and a man
whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the just and right way, in which case the one who
wishes says, 'If I were given the same as he has been given, I would do what he does.' " (See Hadith 5025 and 5026)
