[Machine] Abdullah bin Abi Awfa wrote to him at the time when he went to Al-Harrooriya a letter in which it was mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O people! Do not desire to meet the enemy, and seek the protection of Allah. But if you meet them, be patient and know that Paradise lies under the shade of swords."
كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْحَرُورِيَّةِ كِتَابًا فَإِذَا فِيهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تَتَمَنَّوْا لِقَاءَ الْعَدُوِّ وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُ فَاصْبِرُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ»
