We traveled with the Prophet ﷺ one night, and some of the people said, "Messenger of Allah, will you not stop and rest with us at the end of the night?"He replied, "I fear you will sleep through the prayer."Bilal said, "I will wake you."So they lay down to sleep, and Bilal leaned his back against his mount. His eyes overcame him, and he fell asleep. The Prophet ﷺ woke when the edge of the sun had already risen and said, "Bilal, where is what you promised?"Bilal replied, "Never has a sleep like this overtaken me before."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah took your souls when He willed and returned them to you when He willed. Bilal, get up and call the people to prayer."Bilal then performed the ablution, and when the sun had risen high and become bright, the Prophet ﷺ stood and led the prayer.
حدثنا عمران بن ميسرة قال حدثنا محمد بن فضيل قال حدثنا حصين
سرنا مع النبي ﷺ ليلة فقال بعض القوم لو عرست بنا يا رسول الله قال أخاف أن تناموا عن الصلاة قال بلال أنا أوقظكم فاضطجعوا وأسند بلال ظهره إلى راحلته فغلبته عيناه فنام فاستيقظ النبي ﷺ وقد طلع حاجب الشمس فقال يا بلال أين ما قلت قال ما ألقيت علي نومة مثلها قط قال إن الله قبض أرواحكم حين شاء وردها عليكم حين شاء يا بلال قم فأذن بالناس بالصلاة فتوضأ فلما ارتفعت الشمس وابياضت قام فصلى
