Translation

<a id="_Toc492473211">H 14545</a> – Abaan, from Abu Baseer has narrated the following: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Abdullah</span>^asws has said that the Rasool^saww Allah^azwj encamped under a tree on the edge of the valley during the (military) expedition of Zaat Al-Raqa’a. A flooding came in between him^saww and his^saww companions. A man from the Polytheists saw it, and the Muslims were standing upon the edge of the valley waiting for the flood to be cut-off (subside). So a man from the Polytheists said to his people, ‘I will kill Muhammad^saww’. So he came and pulled out his sword against the Rasool^saww Allah^azwj then said, ‘Who is going to save you from me, O Muhammad^saww?’ He^saww said: ‘My^saww Lord^azwj, and your Lord^azwj’. So Jibraeel^as blew him off his horse and he fell upon his back. The Rasool^saww stood up and took the sword, and sat upon his chest and said: ‘Who is the one who will rescue you from me^saww, O Gowras?’ He said, ‘Your^saww benevolence and your^saww generosity, O Muhammad^saww’. So he^saww left him. He stood up and he was saying, ‘By Allah^azwj, you^saww are better than me and more generous’.
