32.44 The Battle of Al-Ahzab (The Confederates), also known as Al-Khandaq (The Ditch)

٣٢۔٤٤ باب غَزْوَةِ الأَحْزَابِ وَهِيَ الْخَنْدَقُ

(1182) bukhari:2837Ḥafṣ b. ʿUmar > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > al-Barāʾ

On the day (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans) I saw the Prophet ﷺ carrying earth, and the earth was covering the whiteness of his ʿAbdomen. And he was saying, "Without You (O Allah!) we would have got no guidance, nor given in charity, nor prayed. So please bless us with tranquility and make firm our feet when we meet our enemies. Indeed (these) people have rebelled against (oppressed) us but never shall we yield if they try to bring affliction upon us."  

(١١٨٢) البخاري:٢٨٣٧حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ؓ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الأَحْزَابِ يَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ وَقَدْ وَارَى التُّرَابُ بَيَاضَ بَطْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَوْلاَ أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلاَ تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلِ السَّكِينَةَ عَلَيْنَا وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا إِنَّ الأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا  

(1183) bukhari:3797Muḥammad b. ʿUbaydullāh > Ibn Abū Ḥāzim from his father > Sahl

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were digging the trench and carrying out the earth on our backs. Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "O Allah ! There is no life except the life of the Hereafter, so please forgive the Emigrants and the Ansar."  

(١١٨٣) البخاري:٣٧٩٧حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَهْلٍ قَالَ

جَاءَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ نَحْفِرُ الْخَنْدَقَ وَنَنْقُلُ التُّرَابَ عَلَى أَكْتَادِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ عَيْشَ إِلاَّ عَيْشُ الآخِرَهْ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالأَنْصَارِ  

(1184) bukhari:6413Muḥammad b. Bashhār > Ghundar > Shuʿbah > Muʿāwiyah b. Qurrah > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Allah! There is no life worth living except the life of the Hereafter, so (please) make righteous the Ansar and the Emigrants."  

(١١٨٤) البخاري:٦٤١٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ عَيْشَ إِلاَّ عَيْشُ الآخِرَة فَأَصْلِحِ الأَنْصَارَ وَالْمُهَاجِرَة  

(1185) bukhari:2961Ḥafṣ b. ʿUmar > Shuʿbah > Ḥumayd > Anas > Kānat al-Anṣār Yawm al-Khandaq

On the day (of the battle) of the Trench, the Ansar were saying, "We are those who have sworn allegiance to Muhammad for Jihaid (for ever) as long as we live." The Prophet ﷺ replied to them, "O Allah! There is no life except the life of the Hereafter. So honor the Ansar and emigrants with Your Generosity."  

(١١٨٥) البخاري:٢٩٦١حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ؓ يَقُولُ

كَانَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ تَقُولُ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا مُحَمَّدَا عَلَى الْجِهَادِ مَا حَيِينَا أَبَدَا فَأَجَابَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ لاَ عَيْشَ إِلاَّ عَيْشُ الآخِرَهْ، فَأَكْرِمِ الأَنْصَارَ وَالْمُهَاجِرَهْ۔»
