[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed the digging of a trench from the depths of the valley of Bani Haritha during the Battle of the Trench, until it reached the area of the butcher shops. He divided the digging into sections of forty arm-lengths, and the immigrants and the Ansar sought permission from Salman Al-Farisi, may Allah be pleased with him, who was a strong man. The immigrants said, "Salman is one of us," and the Ansar said, "Salman is one of us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Salman is one of us, the People of the House."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَطَّ الْخَنْدَقَ مِنْ أَحْمَرَ الْبَسْخَتَيْنِ طَرَفِ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ عَامَ حِزْبِ الْأَحْزَابِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْمَذَابِحَ فَقَطَعَ لِكُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا فَاحْتَجَّ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ فِي سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا قَوِيًّا فَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ سَلْمَانُ مِنَّا وَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ سَلْمَانُ مِنَّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سَلْمَانُ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ»
