Hadith 2536
- (كان يوم الأحزابِ (وفي رواية: يوم الخندق) (¬1) ينقلُ معنا التراب، ولقد وارى التُّرابُ بياض بطنِه (وفي رواية: شعر صدرِه) (¬2) [وكان رجُلاً كثير الشَّعرِ] (¬3) ، وهو [يرتجزُ برجزِ عبدِ اللهِ بن رواحة] (¬4) ، وهو: والله لولا أنت ما اهتدينا ولاتصدَّقنا ولا صلينا فأنزِلن سكِينةً علينا [وثبت الأقدام إن لاقينا] (¬5) إن الأُلى قد أبوا (وفي رواية: بغوا) (¬6) علينا إذا أرادُوافتنةً أبينا [أبينا] (¬7) ويرفعُ بها صوته) .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was carrying earth with us on the day of the Battle of Ahzab—and according to another narration, on the day of the Battle of Khandaq. The earth had covered the whiteness of his blessed stomach (and according to another narration, the hair on his blessed chest). He (peace and blessings be upon him) was very hairy, and at that time he was reciting the following rajaz poetry of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah:
“By Allah! If it were not for You, we would not have been guided,
Nor would we have given charity, nor prayed.
(O Allah!) So send down tranquility upon us,
And make us firm if we meet (the enemy).
Indeed, the oppressors have transgressed against us,
When they seek to cause discord (in our religion),
We will refuse, we will refuse.”
While saying this sentence, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would raise his voice.
