Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I went in an expedition along with the Prophet ﷺ in the direction of Najd. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned, I also returned with him. Then the mid-day sleep overtook us in a valley full of prickly shrubs. Messenger of Allah ﷺ got down and the people scattered around seeking shade under the trees. Messenger of Allah ﷺ hang up his sword on the branch of a tree. We were enjoying a sleep when Messenger of Allah ﷺ called us, and lo! There was a desert Arab bedouin near him. He ﷺ said, "This man brandished my sword over me while I was asleep. I woke up and saw it in his hand unsheathed. He asked: `Who will protect you from me?' I replied: 'Allah' - thrice". He did not punish him and sat down.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

In another narration, Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) said: We accompanied Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the campaign of Dhat-ur-Riqa`. We left Messenger of Allah ﷺ to take rest under a shady tree. One of the polytheists came to him. The sword of Messenger of Allah ﷺ was hanging on a tree. He drew it and said: "Are you afraid of me?'' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No". Then he said: "Who will then protect you from me?'' Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Allah".

And in a narration of Abu Bakr Al-Isma`ili, the polytheist asked: "Who will protect you from me?'' Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Allah.'' As soon as he said this, the sword fell down from his hand and Messenger of Allah ﷺ catching the sword, asked him, "Who will protect you from me.'' He said, "Please forgive me.'' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On condition you testify that there is none worthy of worship but Allah and that I am His Messenger.'' He said, "No, but I promise you that I shall not fight against you, nor shall I be with those who fight with you". The Prophet ﷺ let him go. He then went back to his companions and said: "I have come to you from one of the best of mankind".

الخامس: عن جابر رضي الله عنه أنه غزا مع النبي ﷺ قبل نجد، فلما قفل رسول الله ﷺ قفل معهم، فأدركتهم القائلة في واد كثير العضاه، فنزل رسول الله ﷺ، وتفرق الناس يستظلون بالشجر، ونزل رسول الله ﷺ تحت سمرة، فعلق بها سيفه، ونمنا نومة، فإذا رسول الله ﷺ يدعونا، وإذا عنده أعرابي فقال:
"إن هذا اختراط علي سيفي وأنا نائم، فاسيقظت وهو في يده صلتا، قال: من يمنعك منى؟ قلت: الله-ثلاثا" ولم يعاقبه وجلس. ((متفق عليه)) .
وفي رواية : قال جابر: كنا مع رسول الله ﷺ بذات الرقاع: فإذا أتينا على شجرة ظليلة تركناها لرسول الله ﷺ، فجاء رجل من المشركين، وسيف رسول الله ﷺ معلق بالشجرة، فاخترطه فقال : تخافني؟ قال: لا قال : فمن يمنعك مني ؟ قال: الله .
وفي رواية أبي بكر الإسماعيلى في صحيحه: قال: من يمنعك مني؟ قال : الله قال: فسقط السيف من يده، فأخذ رسول الله ﷺ السيف فقال: من يمنعك مني؟ فقال كن خير آخذ، فقال تشهد أن لا إله إلا الله ، وأني رسول الله؟ قال: لا، ولكني أعاهدك أن لا أقاتلك ولا أكون مع قوم يقاتلونك، فخلى سبيله، فأتى أصحابه فقال: جئتكم من عند خير الناس.
