The Prophet ﷺ went out on a cold morning while the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar were digging the trench. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "O Allah! The real goodness is the goodness of the Here after, so please forgive the Ansar and the Muhajirin." They replied, "We are those who have given the Pledge of allegiance to Muhammad for to observe Jihad as long as we remain alive." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7201)

bukhari:2834ʿAbdullāh b. Muḥammad > Muʿāwiyah b. ʿAmr > Abū Isḥāq > Ḥumayd > Anas

Messenger of Allah ﷺ went towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the Emigrants and the Ansar digging in a very cold morning as they did not have slaves to do that for them. When he noticed their fatigue and hunger he said, "O Allah! The real life is that of the Here-after, (so please) forgive the Ansar and the Emigrants." In its reply the Emigrants and the Ansar said, "We are those who have given a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we will carry on Jihad as long as we live."

The Emigrants and the Ansar started digging the trench around Medina carrying the earth on their backs and saying, "We are those who have given a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we will I carry on Jihad as long as we live." The Prophet ﷺ kept on replying, "O Allah, there is no good except the good of the Hereafter; so confer Your Blessings on the Ansar and the Emigrants."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out towards the Khandaq (i.e. Trench) and saw the Emigrants and the Ansar digging the trench in the cold morning. They had no slaves to do that (work) for them.

muslim:1805dMuḥammad b. Ḥātim > Bahz > Ḥammād b. Salamah > Thābit > Anas

We are those who have sworn allegiance to Muhammad (And made a covenant with him) to follow Islam as long as we live. Hammad is not sure whether Anas said:" Ala'l-Islam" or," Ala'l-Jihad". And the Prophet ﷺ was chanting: O God, the real good is the good of the Hereafter, So forgive Thou the Ansar and the Muhajirs.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ went out one morning during a pleasant or cold day, and he saw the emigrants and the ansar digging the trench. He said, "O Allah, the good is the good of the Hereafter, so forgive the ansar and the emigrants." And they responded to him. [Al-Bahr ar-Rajz] We are the ones who pledged allegiance to Muhammad for Jihad, and we will never go back on it.

ahmad:13127Ibn Abū ʿAdī > Ḥumayd > Anas

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the immigrants went out to dig the trench on a cold morning. Anas narrated that they did not have servants, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Allah, indeed the good is only the good of the Hereafter, so forgive the Ansar and the Muhajireen." They responded, "We are the ones who pledged allegiance to Muhammad for jihad, we will never retreat."
