I found the following hadith (not sure whether I should call this a hadith or story) :
> Abbad رضي الله عنه stood up for optional salah. He became so absorbed
> in recitation and salaah, that a person from the enemy in search of
> Muhammad ﷺ and his followers, from a distance saw the figure of Abbad
> رضي الله عنه and silently drew his bow, and fired an arrow which
> embedded itself in Abbad’s رضي الله عنه flesh. Calmly, Abbad رضي الله
> عنه removed the arrow and continued with his recitation, still
> absorbed in his salaah.
>
> The attacker shot two more arrows, which also found their mark. Abbad
> رضي الله عنه pulled them out and continued his recitation. Abbad رضي
> الله عنه continued the prayer to its end and then woke Ammar رضي الله
> عنه saying: “Get up and stand guard in my place. I have been wounded.”
> Ammar stood up and seeing them both, the attacker fled into the
> darkness.
>
> Ammar رضي الله عنه turned to Abbad رضي الله عنه saying: “Why didn’t
> you wake me up when you were hit by the first arrow?” Abbad رضي الله
> عنه replied: “I was reciting verses of the Qur’an which filled my soul
> with awe and I did not want to cut short the recitation.”
What is the reference of this hadith? Is it sahih?
