حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِى كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا أَتَيْنَا عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ ظَلِيلَةٍ تَرَكْنَاهَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَسَيْفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مُعَلَّقٌ بِشَجَرَةٍ فَأَخَذَ سَيْفَ نَبِىِّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَاخْتَرَطَهُ فَقَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَتَخَافُنِى قَالَ « لاَ ». قَالَ فَمَنْ يَمْنَعُكَ مِنِّى قَالَ « اللَّهُ يَمْنَعُنِى مِنْكَ ». قَالَ فَتَهَدَّدَهُ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَأَغْمَدَ السَّيْفَ وَعَلَّقَهُ - قَالَ - فَنُودِىَ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَصَلَّى بِطَائِفَةٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَأَخَّرُوا وَصَلَّى بِالطَّائِفَةِ الأُخْرَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَكَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَلِلْقَوْمِ رَكْعَتَانِ.

It was narrated that Jabir said: "We came with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) to Dhat Ar-Riqa'. Whenever we came to a shady tree, we would leave it for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). A man from the idolators came and the sword of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was hanging on a tree. He took the sword of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and unsheathed it, and he said to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w): 'Aren't you afraid of me?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Who will protect you from me?' He said: 'Allah will protect me from you.' The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) threatened him, so he put the sword back in its sheath and hung it up again. Then the call for prayer was given and he led one group in praying two Rak'ah, then they moved back and he led the other group in praying two Rak'ah. So the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) prayed four Rak'ah and the people prayed two."
