\nNarrated `Abdullah bin Abi Qatada:\n \n\nMy father said, "One night we were traveling with the Prophet (ﷺ) and some people said, 'We wish that \nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) would take a rest along with us during the last hours of the night.' He said, 'I am afraid \nthat you will sleep and miss the (Fajr) prayer.' Bilal said, 'I will make you get up.' So all slept and \nBilal rested his back against his Rahila and he too was overwhelmed (by sleep) and slept. The Prophet (ﷺ) \ngot up when the edge of the sun had risen and said, 'O Bilal! What about your statement?' He replied, \n'I have never slept such a sleep.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Allah captured your souls when He wished, and \nreleased them when He wished. O Bilal! Get up and pronounce the Adhan for the prayer.' The Prophet (ﷺ) \nperformed ablution and when the sun came up and became bright, he stood up and prayed."\n

\nحَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سِرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةً فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لَوْ عَرَّسْتَ بِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَخَافُ أَنْ تَنَامُوا عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ بِلاَلٌ أَنَا أُوقِظُكُمْ‏.‏ فَاضْطَجَعُوا وَأَسْنَدَ بِلاَلٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ فَنَامَ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدْ طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ يَا بِلاَلُ أَيْنَ مَا قُلْتَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ مَا أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَىَّ نَوْمَةٌ مِثْلُهَا قَطُّ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَبَضَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ حِينَ شَاءَ، وَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْكُمْ حِينَ شَاءَ، يَا بِلاَلُ قُمْ فَأَذِّنْ بِالنَّاسِ بِالصَّلاَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَابْيَاضَّتْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى‏.‏
