[Machine] On the day of Badr, when we met, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to pray. I did not see anyone reciting a poem with more intensity than the recitation of Muhammad ﷺ to his Lord. He said, "O Allah, I recite Your promise and covenant. O Allah, I ask You for what You promised me. O Allah, if this group is destroyed, they will no longer worship You on Earth." Then, he turned towards us, and it seemed as if the moon had split his face, and he said, "These are the ranks of the enemy in the evening."
لَمَّا الْتَقَيْنَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَمَا رَأَيْتُ نَاشِدًا يَنْشُدُ حَقًّا لَهُ أَشَدَّ مِنْ مُنَاشَدَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ رَبَّهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ وَعْدَكَ وَعْهَدَكَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكُ مَا وَعَدْتَنِي اللهُمَّ إِنْ تَهْلِكْ هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةَ لَا تَعْبُدْ فِي الْأَرْضِ» ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا كَأَنَّ شُقَّةَ وَجْهِهِ الْقَمَرُ فَقَالَ «هَذِهِ مَصَارِعُ الْقَوْمِ الْعَشِيَّةَ»
