Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1003 — it was the custom of the Messenger of Allah

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ : نَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ .
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : كَانَ إِذَا لَمْ يَلْقَ الْعَدُوَّ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ ، أَخَّرَ حَتَّى تَهُبَّ الرِّيَاحُ ، وَيَكُونَ عِنْدَ مَوَاقِيتِ الصَّلَاةِ ، وَكَانَ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصُولُ ، وَبِكَ أَحُولُ ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ .
كذا في طبعة دار الحرمين ، والصواب : ( عثمان بن سعد ) كما في المعجم الكبير ومجمع البحرين ، وأشار إلى ذلك محقق المطبوع . والله أعلم
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that it was the custom of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not engage the enemy in the early part of the day, he would delay (the fighting) until the winds began to blow and the times of the prayers came, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate: 'Allahumma bika asulu, wa bika ahulu, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (O Allah, by Your help I attack (the enemy), by Your enabling I ward off (the enemy's schemes), and there is no power (to turn away from evil) and no strength (for good) except with the help of Allah).
In the printed edition of Dar al-Haramain it is written thus (Uthman bin Rabi'ah), but the correct name is (Uthman bin Sa'd), as it appears in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and Majma' al-Bahrayn, and the editor of the book has also pointed this out. And Allah knows best.
