ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْمَرْءِ أَنْ يَسْتَعِينَ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فِي دُعَائِهِ، فِي عُقَيْبِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى قِتَالِ أَعْدَائِهِ

[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic text into English is as follows:

"On the days of the Battle of Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to move his lips with something after the Fajr prayer. Someone asked him, 'O Messenger of Allah, you are moving your lips with something that you were not doing before. What is it that you are saying?' He ﷺ replied, 'I am saying, 'O Allah, with Your help I try, with Your help I fight, and with Your help I hope to succeed.'"  

ابن حبّان:٢٠٢٧أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ أَيَّامَ خَيْبَرَ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ بِشَيْءٍ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْكَ بِشَيْءٍ مَا كُنْتَ تَفْعَلُهُ فَمَا هَذَا الَّذِي تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ ﷺ «أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أُحَاوِلُ وَبِكَ أُقَاتِلُ وَبِكَ أُصَاوِلُ»

"عَنْ صُهَيْب أنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ كَانَ أيَّامَ حُنَيْن يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ بَعْدَ صَلاَةِ الفَجْرِ، فَقيلَ يَا رَسُولَ الله: إِنَّكَ تُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْكَ بِشِىْء مَا كنتَ تَفْعَلُهُ، فَمَا هَذَا الَّذِى تَقُولُ؛ قَالَ أقُولُ: "اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أحُولُ، وَبكَ أصُولُ، وَبِكَ أقاتِلُ، وَفى لَفْظ: بِكَ أحَاوِلُ، وَبِكَ أصَاوِل".
