[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , dug the trench and his companions were pelted with stones due to hunger. When the Prophet, ﷺ , saw that, he said, "Have you found any food?" A man said, "Yes." The Prophet, ﷺ , said, "Then bring us some." They went to the man and found him treating his share of the food in the trench. His wife sent a message to him saying, "Come, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , has come to us." The man hurried towards them and said, "By my father and mother, he is the most honorable to me and I value him highly. And with him is his grandmother." He then slaughtered his grandmother and his wife brought some grain, kneaded it, and baked it. She cooked a pot of soup and brought it to the Prophet, ﷺ , and his companions. The Prophet, ﷺ , put his finger in it and said, "In the name of Allah. O Allah, bless it and feed us." They ate from it until they were satisfied, but they only ate one third of it, and two thirds remained. The Prophet, ﷺ , then released the ten men who were with him, telling them to go and bring back more food. They left and the ten men who came in their place ate from it until they were full. Then they stood up, praised the hostess, and her family, and walked back to the trench. The Prophet, ﷺ , said, "Come with us to Salman." And there before them was a rock that had weakened. The Prophet, ﷺ , said to his companions, "Leave me to be the first to hit it." He said, "In the name of Allah" and struck it. It broke into two pieces. He said, "Allahu Akbar, the castles of Rome and the Lord of the Kaaba." He then struck it again and it broke into two pieces. He said, "Allahu Akbar, the castles of Persia and the Lord of the Kaaba." The hypocrites were with him and they said, "We are digging a trench against ourselves while he promises us the castles of Persia and Rome."
احْتَفَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْخَنْدَقَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ قَدْ شُدُّوا الْحِجَارَةَ عَلَى بُطُونِهِمْ مِنَ الْجُوعِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ دُلِلْتُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يُطْعِمُنَا أَكَلَةً؟» قَالَ رَجُلٌ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَمَا لَا فَتَقَدَّمْ فَدُلَّنَا عَلَيْهِ» فَانْطَلَقُوا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَإِذَا فِي الْخَنْدَقِ يُعَالِجُ نَصِيبَهُ مِنْهُ فَأَرْسَلَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ أَنْ جئْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَتَانَا فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ يَسْعَى فَقَالَ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي وَلَهُ مَعْزَةٌ وَمَعَهَا جَدْيُها فَوَثَبَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْجَدْيُ مِنْ وَرَائِنَا» فَذَبَحَ الْجَدْيَ وعَمَدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى طَحِينَةٍ لَهَا فَعَجَنَتْها وَخَبَزَتْ فَأَدْرَكَتِ الْقِدْرَ فَثَرَدَتْ قَصْعَتَهَا فَقَرَّبَتْها إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَوَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِصْبَعَهُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللهِ اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ فِيهَا اطْعَمُوا» فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهَا حَتَّى صَدَرُوا وَلَمْ يَأْكُلُوا مِنْهَا إِلَّا ثُلُثَهَا وَبَقِي ثُلُثَاهَا فَسَرَّحَ أُولَئِكَ الْعَشَرَةَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ أَنِ اذْهَبُوا وسَرِّحُوا إِلَيْنَا بِعِدَّتِكُمْ فَذَهَبُوا وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ الْعَشَرَةُ مَكَانَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا مِنْهَا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا ثُمَّ قَامَ وَدَعَا لِرَبَّةِ الْبَيْتِ وَسَمَّتَ عَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهَا ثُمَّ تَمَشَّوْا إِلَى الْخَنْدَقِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا بِنَا إِلَى سَلْمَانَ فَإِذَا صَخْرَةٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَدْ ضَعُفَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «دَعُونِي فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ ضَرَبَهَا» فَقَالَ «بِسْمِ اللهِ» فَضَرَبَهَا فَوَقَعَتْ فِلْقَةٌ ثُلُثُهَا فَقَالَ «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ قُصُورُ الرُّومِ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِأُخْرَى فَوَقَعَتْ فِلْقَةٌ فَقَالَ «اللهُ أَكْبَرُ قُصُورُ فَارِسَ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ» فَقَالَ عِنْدَهَا الْمُنَافِقُونَ نَحْنُ نُخَنْدِقُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا وَهُوَ يَعِدُنا قُصُورَ فَارِسٍ وَالرُّومِ
