الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٣٧٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْمُهَلَّبِ بْنِ أَبِي صُفْرَةَ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْخَنْدَقِ «إِنِّي لَا أَرَى الْقَوْمَ إِلَّا مُبَيِّتِيكُمْ فَإِنَّ شِعَارَكُمْ حم لَا يُنْصَرُونَ»
