حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَرِقَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَيْتَ رَجُلاً صَالِحًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي يَحْرُسُنِي اللَّيْلَةَ ‏"‏. إِذْ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ السِّلاَحِ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ هَذَا ‏"‏. قِيلَ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جِئْتُ أَحْرُسُكَ. فَنَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا غَطِيطَهُ. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ قَالَ بِلاَلٌ أَلاَ لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً بِوَادٍ وَحَوْلِي إِذْخِرٌ وَجَلِيلُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.

Narrator: Aisha

English translation
Narrated Aisha: 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)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, এক রাতে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম জেগে রইলেন। পরে তিনি বললেনঃ যদি আমার সাহাবীদের কোন নেককার লোক আজ রাতে আমার পাহারা দিত! হঠাৎ আমরা অস্ত্রের শব্দ শুনলাম। তখন তিনি বললেনঃ এ কে? বলা হল, এ হচ্ছে সা‘দ, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আপনাকে পাহারা দিতে এসেছি। তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ঘুমালেন, এমন কি আমরা তাঁর নাক ডাকার আওয়াজ শুনতে পেলাম। ‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) বলেন, বিলাল (রাঃ) আওড়াচ্ছিলেন- হায়! আমার উপলব্ধি, আমি কি উপত্যকায় রাত কাটাতে পারব, যখন আমার পাশে থাকবে জালীর ও ইয্খির (ঘাস)। পরে আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে এ খবর পৌঁছিয়ে দিলাম। [২৮৮৫] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৭২৪, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
