[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ commanded the digging of the trench around the city, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have found a hill that we are unable to dig." So the Prophet ﷺ stood up and we stood up with him. When he reached for the pickaxe, he struck it with a blow and shouted "Al-Faris has been conquered!" Then he struck another and shouted "The Romans have been conquered!" Then he struck another and shouted "Allah has brought the donkey as helpers and supporters!"  

الطبراني:١٣٧٠٨حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَلُولٍ قَالَ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

لَمَّا أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَالْخَنْدَقِ فَخَنْدَقَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا صَفَاةً لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ حَفْرَهَا فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا أَتَى أَخَذَ الْمِعْوَلَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً وَكَبَّرَ فَسَمِعْتُ هَدَّةً لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ فَقَالَ «فُتِحَتْ فَارِسُ» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ أُخْرَى وَكَبَّرَ فَسَمِعْتُ هَدَّةً لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ فَقَالَ «فُتِحَتِ الرُّومُ» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ أُخْرَى وَكَبَّرَ فَسَمِعْتُ هَدَّةً لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ فَقَالَ «جَاءَ اللهُ بِحِمْيَرَ أَعْوَانًا وَأَنْصَارًا»
