Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 7287 — during the days of Hunayn, after praying

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ، ثنا أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ ثَابِتًا الْبُنَانِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُمْ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، أَنَّ صُهَيْبًا قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ فِي أَيَّامِ حُنَيْنٍ إِذَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَا تَزَالُ تُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْكَ بِشَيْءٍ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ، وَكُنْتَ لَا تَفْعَلُهُ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ نَبِيًّا كَانَ قَبْلَنَا أَعْجَبَتْهُ كَثْرَةُ أُمَّتِهِ، فَقَالَ: لَا يَدُومُ هَؤُلَاءِ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ شَيْئًا - فَأَوْحَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ: أَنَّ خَيْرَ أُمَّتِكَ بَيْنَ إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: إِمَّا أَنْ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَوْتَ أَوِ الْعَدُوَّ أَوِ الْجُوعَ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالُوا: أَمَّا الْجُوعُ فَلَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ، وَلَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِالْعَدُوِّ، وَلَكِنِ الْمَوْتُ، فَمَاتَ مِنْهُمْ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا، وَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ أَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ بِكَ أُحَاوِلُ، وَبِكَ أُصَاوِلُ، وَبِكَ أُقَاتِلُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Suhayb (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the days of Hunayn, after praying the morning prayer, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to move his lips with something. We said: O Messenger of Allah, you keep moving your lips with something after the morning prayer, though you did not use to do so? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There was a prophet before us who was delighted by the great number of his nation, and he said: These will not last forever, and I think he said something more. So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to him: The best of your nation face one of three things: either I set death upon them, or an enemy, or hunger. He put this before them, and they said: As for hunger, we have no strength for it, and we have no strength for an enemy, but death (we accept). So seventy thousand of them died in three days. And today I say: O Allah, by You I strive, by You I attack, and by You I fight."
