عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شَيْخًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ إِذْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْزُوَ الْحَرُورِيَّةَ فَقُلْتُ لِكَاتِبِهِ وَكَانَ لِي صَدِيقًا انْسَخْهُ لِي فَفَعَلَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَا تَمَنَّوْا لِقَاءَ الْعَدُوِّ وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْعَافِيَةَ فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاصْبِرُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ قَالَ فَيَنْظُرُ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ نَهَدَ إِلَى عَدُوِّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُجْرِيَ السَّحَابِ وَهَازِمَ الْأَحْزَابِ اهْزِمْهُمْ وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ
It is narrated from Abu Hayyan, he says: I heard from an elder in Madinah Munawwarah, he was stating that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to Ubaydullah, this was at the time when he wanted to fight the Haruriyyah, that is, the Khawarij. His scribe was my friend. I said to him: Write it for me as well, word for word. He did so. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not wish to fight the enemies, and ask Allah for well-being. But when you encounter them, then be patient, and know that Paradise is under the shade of swords. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would wait until the sun had declined, then he would stand towards the enemy and make this supplication: "O Allah! Revealer of the Book, Mover of the clouds, Defeater of the confederates, defeat them and grant us victory over them."
