It is narrated from Hazrat Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the command for fighting. He said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) We will not say like the Children of Israel that you and your Lord go and fight, we are sitting here. Rather, we will say that you and your Lord go and fight, we too will be among those who fight alongside you."
