حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى وَأَبِي كَامِلٍ - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ، اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، اطَّلَعَ مِنْ بَعْضِ حُجَرِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ بِمِشْقَصٍ أَوْ مَشَاقِصَ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْتِلُهُ لِيَطْعُنَهُ ‏.‏

Translation

Yahya ibn Yahya, Abu Kamil Fudayl ibn Husayn, and Qutayba ibn Said narrated to us; this wording is shared by Yahya and Abu Kamil. Yahya said: He informed us; the other two said: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us from Ubayd Allah ibn Abi Bakr, from Anas ibn Malik, that a man peered through one of the chambers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He stood up toward him with a mishqas—or several mishqas. It is as though I can see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stealthily moving toward him to stab him.
