حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَخِي أَبِي رُهْمٍ كُلْثُومُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ الْغِفَارِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا رُهْمٍ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوهُ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ، يَقُولُ: غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ، فنُمْتُ لَيْلَةً بِالأَخْضَرِ، فَصِرْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ، فَأُلْقِيَ عَلَيْنَا النُّعَاسُ، فَطَفِقْتُ أَسْتَيْقِظُ وَقَدْ دَنَتْ رَاحِلَتِي مِنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَيُفْزِعُنِي دُنُوُّهَا خَشْيَةَ أَنْ تُصِيبَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ، فَطَفِقْتُ أُؤَخِّرُ رَاحِلَتِي حَتَّى غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي بَعْضَ اللَّيْلِ، فَزَاحَمَتْ رَاحِلَتِي رَاحِلَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَرِجْلُهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ، فَأَصَبْتُ رِجْلَهُ، فَلَمْ أَسْتَيْقِظْ إِلاَّ بِقَوْلِهِ: حَسِّ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: سِرْ. فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ فَأُخْبِرُهُ، فَقَالَ، وَهُوَ يَسْأَلُنِي: مَا فَعَلَ النَّفْرُ الْحُمُرُ الطِّوَالُ الثِّطَاطُ؟ قَالَ: فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِتَخَلُّفِهِمْ، قَالَ: فَمَا فَعَلَ السُّودُ الْجِعَادُ الْقِصَارُ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ نَعَمٌ بِشَبَكَةِ شَرَخٍ؟ فَتَذَكَّرْتُهُمْ فِي بَنِي غِفَارٍ، فَلَمْ أَذْكُرْهُمْ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ أَنَّهُمْ رَهْطٌ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أُولَئِكَ مِنْ أَسْلَمَ، قَالَ: فَمَا يَمْنَعُ أَحَدَ أُولَئِكَ، حِينَ يَتَخَلَّفُ، أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عَلَى بَعِيرٍ مِنْ إِبِلِهِ امْرَءًا نَشِيطًا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ؟ فَإِنَّ أَعَزَّ أَهْلِي عَلَيَّ أَنْ يَتَخَلَّفَ عَنِّي الْمُهَاجِرُونَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَالأَنْصَارُ، وَغِفَارٌ وَأَسْلَمُ.

Abu Ruhm, one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who pledged allegiance to him beneath the tree, said: I went on the expedition to Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah. One night at al-Akhdar I slept near him. Drowsiness overcame us, and I kept waking as my mount drew close to his. I was alarmed lest it strike his foot in the stirrup, so I kept pulling my mount back until sleep overcame me for part of the night. Then my mount pressed against the Messenger of Allah’s mount while his foot was in the stirrup, and I struck his foot. I woke only when he exclaimed, “Ah!” I said: “Messenger of Allah, ask forgiveness for me.” He said: “Go on.” The Messenger of Allah then kept asking me about those of Banu Ghifar who had stayed behind, and I told him. As he questioned me, he asked: “What became of the tall, reddish, flat-nosed men?” I told him that they had stayed behind. Then he asked: “What became of the short, dark, curly-haired men who have livestock at Shabakat Sharakh?” I remembered them among Banu Ghifar, but then recalled that they were a group from Aslam, and said: “Messenger of Allah, those are from Aslam.” He said: “When one of those men stays behind, what prevents him from putting an able man on one of his camels to travel in Allah’s way? For the people dearest to me are the Muhajirun of Quraysh, the Ansar, Ghifar, and Aslam, and I would not want them to stay behind from me.”

The physical descriptions of the groups and the final sentence are translated closely; the tribal and place names are retained.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: سِرْ
The Arabic says “Go on” or “Proceed,” not “Never mind.”
Please check this response against the Arabic.
فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ
The Arabic continues with an extended exchange about people from Banu Ghifar and Aslam who stayed behind; the English witness ends before this material.
Please restore the remainder of the Arabic report in the English witness.
