2966. And then he (Allāh's Messenger ﷺ) got up among the people and said, "O people! Do not wish to meet the enemy (in a battle) and ask Allāh to save you (from calamities), but if you should meet the enemy, then be patient and let it be known to you that Paradise is under the shades of swords." He then said "O Allāh! The Revealer of the (Holy) Book, the Mover of the clouds, and Defeater of Al-Ahẓāb (i.e., the Confederates of infidels), defeat them (infidels) and bestow victory upon us."

Arabic text

2966 - ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ خَطِيبًا قَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، لاَ تَتَمَنَّوْا لِقَاءَ العَدُوِّ، وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ العَافِيَةَ، فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاصْبِرُوا، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ ظِلاَلِ السُّيُوفِ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الكِتَابِ، وَمُجْرِيَ السَّحَابِ، وَهَازِمَ الأَحْزَابِ، اهْزِمْهُمْ وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ»
