Hadith 36:278
Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara’, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) on the day of the Trench carrying dirt until the dirt covered the hair of his chest. He was reciting the rajaz poetry of Abdullah ibn Rawahah, saying: "O Allah, were it not for You, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given charity, nor would we have prayed. So send down tranquility upon us, and make firm the feet if we meet [the enemy]. Indeed, those [people] have transgressed against us, and if they intend sedition, we refuse."
حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن أبي إسحاق عن البراء قال رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم الخندق ينقل التراب حتى وارى التراب شعر صدره وهو يرتجز برجز عبد الله بن رواحة يقول % لا هم لو لا أنت ما اهتدينا % ولا تصدقنا ولا صلينا % % فأنزلن سكينة علينا % وثبت الأقدام إن لاقينا % % إن الأولى قد بغوا علينا % وإن أرادوا فتنة أبينا %
