1678. Ibn Abī Awfā said: "I heard him saying" – meaning the Prophet ﷺ – "while supplicating against the Aḥzāb: 'O Allāh, Revealer of the Book! Severe in reckoning! Rout the Aḥzāb and shake them.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eīsā said:] There is something on this topic from Ibn Mas'ūd. This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٦٧٨ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى قَالَ: «سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْعُو عَلَى الْأَحْزَابِ» فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ سَرِيعَ الْحِسَابِ اهْزِمِ الْأَحْزَابَ، اللَّهُمَّ اهْزِمْهُمْ وَزَلْزِلْهُمْ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Supplication is a believer's weapon. Success and prosperity in wars come from fortitude and courage of the heart as well as from the warriors' steadfastness exhibited on the battlefield. If a warrior's heart loses its courage and fortitude, his feet will refuse to support him. If a condition of this nature overtakes the battling army, defeat will be the only outcome of war.
