📖 1 min readعن المِقْدَادُ رضي الله عنه في حديثه الطويل: كنا نَرَفَعُ للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نَصِيبَهُ من اللَّبَنِ ، فَيَجِيءُ من الليل، فَيُسَلِّمُ تسليما لا يُوقِظُ نائما، ويُسْمِعُ اليَقْظَانَ، فجاء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَلَّمَ كما كان يُسَلِّمُ.
Al-Miqdād and those who were with him used to milk their sheep and drink their portion of milk, then they would leave the portion of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) until he came to drink it. So, when he would come at night while they were sleeping, he would give greetings (Salām) in a moderate tone that would not wake the sleeping person up, whereas it would be heard by the ones who were awake.
