أَبَانٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي غَزْوَةِ ذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ عَلَى شَفِيرِ وَادٍ فَأَقْبَلَ سَيْلٌ فَحَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ فَرَآهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ قِيَامٌ عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْوَادِي يَنْتَظِرُونَ مَتَى يَنْقَطِعُ السَّيْلُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَنَا أَقْتُلُ مُحَمَّداً فَجَاءَ وَ شَدَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِالسَّيْفِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ يُنْجِيكَ مِنِّي يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ رَبِّي وَ رَبُّكَ فَنَسَفَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) عَنْ فَرَسِهِ فَسَقَطَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ أَخَذَ السَّيْفَ وَ جَلَسَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ قَالَ مَنْ يُنْجِيكَ مِنِّي يَا غَوْرَثُ فَقَالَ جُودُكَ وَ كَرَمُكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَتَرَكَهُ فَقَامَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَنْتَ خَيْرٌ مِنِّي وَ أَكْرَمُ.
97. Abaan, from Abu Baseer has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah  has said that the Rasool ﷺ 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 ﷺ and his ﷺ 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 ﷺ’. So he came and pulled out his sword against the Rasool ﷺ Allah (azwj) then said, ‘Who is going to save you from me, O Muhammad ﷺ?’ He ﷺ said: ‘My ﷺ Lord (azwj), and your Lord (azwj)’. So Jibraeel  blew him off his horse and he fell upon his back. The Rasool ﷺ stood up and took the sword, and sat upon his chest and said: ‘Who is the one who will rescue you from me ﷺ, O Gowras?’ He said, ‘Your ﷺ benevolence and your ﷺ generosity, O Muhammad ﷺ’. So he ﷺ left him. He stood up and he was saying, ‘By Allah (azwj), you ﷺ are better than me and more generous’.
