حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي السَّلُولِيُّ هُوَ أَبُو کَبْشَةَ عَنْ سَهْلِ ابْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ قَالَ ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَی الشِّعْبِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَکَانَ أَرْسَلَ فَارِسًا إِلَی الشِّعْبِ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ يَحْرُسُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 916
Narrated Sahl ibn al-Hanzaliyyah: The iqamah for the morning prayer was pronounced and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to offer prayer while he was looking at the mountain-pass. (Abu Dawud elaborated that the Prophet had sent a horseman to the mountain-pass at night in order to keep watch. )
