2835. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Muhājirūn (emigrants) and the Anṣār started digging the trench around Al-Madīna carrying the earth on their backs and saying, "We are those who have given the Bai'a (pledge) to Muḥammad ﷺ that we will carry on Jihād as long as we live." The Prophet ﷺ kept on replying, "O Allāh, there is no good except the good of the Hereafter; so confer Your Blessings on the Anṣār and the Muhājirūn."

Arabic text

2835 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ العَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: جَعَلَ المُهَاجِرُونَ وَالأَنْصَارُ يَحْفِرُونَ الخَنْدَقَ حَوْلَ المَدِينَةِ، وَيَنْقُلُونَ التُّرَابَ عَلَى مُتُونِهِمْ، وَيَقُولُونَ: نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدَا ... عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ مَا بَقِينَا أَبَدَا ، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُجِيبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لاَ خَيْرَ إِلَّا خَيْرُ الآخِرَهْ ... فَبَارِكْ فِي الأَنْصَارِ وَالمُهَاجِرَهْ»
