[Machine] A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ told me, he said, the Prophet ﷺ said on the night of the Battle of the Trench, "I do not see the people except as your bed for tonight, for surely, your slogan is 'Ham' (the Arabic letter)' and they will not be victorious."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٨١٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ 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 مُبَيِّتِيكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ فَإِنَّ شِعَارَكُمْ حم لَا يُنْصَرُونَ»
