Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 13651 — When the Prophet ﷺ ordered the trench

حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَلُولٍ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: لَمَّا أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَالْخَنْدَقِ، فَخَنْدَقَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا صَفَاةً، لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ حَفْرَهَا، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَتَى أَخَذَ الْمِعْوَلَ، فَضَرَبَ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَكَبَّرَ، فَسَمِعْتُ هَدَّةً لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ، فَقَالَ: «فُتِحَتْ فَارِسُ» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ أُخْرَى وَكَبَّرَ، فَسَمِعْتُ هَدَّةً، لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ، فَقَالَ: «فُتِحَتِ الرُّومُ» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ أُخْرَى وَكَبَّرَ، فَسَمِعْتُ هَدَّةً لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ، فَقَالَ: «جَاءَ اللهُ بِحِمْيَرَ، أَعْوَانًا وَأَنْصَارًا»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the trench to be dug and a trench was dug around Madinah, the people said: O Messenger of Allah! We have come across a rock which we cannot dig through. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, and we stood up with him (peace and blessings be upon him). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached it, he took the pickaxe, struck it a blow and said the takbir, and I heard a resounding crash the like of which I had never heard before. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Persia has been conquered." Then he struck a second blow and said the takbir, and I heard a resounding crash the like of which I had never heard before. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rome has been conquered." Then he struck a third blow and said the takbir, and I heard a resounding crash the like of which I had never heard before. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has brought Himyar as helpers and supporters."
