English translation

4106. Narrated Al-Barā' رضي الله عنه: When it was the day (of the battle) of Al-Aḥzāb (i.e., the Confederates) and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ dug the trench, I saw him carrying earth out of the trench till dust made the skin of his abdomen out of my sight and he was a hairy man. I heard him reciting the poetic verses composed by Ibn Rawāḥa while he was carrying the earth, "O Allāh! Without You we would not have been guided, nor would we have given in charity, nor would we have offered Ṣalāt (prayer). So, (O Allāh), please send Sakīna (i.e., tranquillity, peace, reassurance and calmness) upon us and make our feet firm if we meet the enemy, as they have rebelled against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e., want to frighten us, and fight against us) then we would not (flee but withstand them).” The Prophet ﷺ would then prolong his voice at the last words.

4106 - حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُرَيْحُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ البَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يُحَدِّثُ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الأَحْزَابِ، وَخَنْدَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْقُلُ مِنْ تُرَابِ الخَنْدَقِ، حَتَّى وَارَى عَنِّي الغُبَارُ جِلْدَةَ بَطْنِهِ، وَكَانَ كَثِيرَ الشَّعَرِ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَرْتَجِزُ بِكَلِمَاتِ ابْنِ رَوَاحَةَ، وَهُوَ يَنْقُلُ مِنَ التُّرَابِ يَقُولُ: [البحر الرجز] اللَّهُمَّ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا ... وَلاَ تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا، فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا ... وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا، إِنَّ الأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا ... وَإِنْ أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا " قَالَ: ثُمَّ يَمُدُّ صَوْتَهُ بِآخِرِهَا
