حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ كَاتِبًا لَهُ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي أَوْفَى ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فَقَرَأْتُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَعْضِ أَيَّامِهِ الَّتِي لَقِيَ فِيهَا انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ. ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، لاَ تَتَمَنَّوْا لِقَاءَ الْعَدُوِّ، وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ، فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاصْبِرُوا، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ ظِلاَلِ السُّيُوفِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ وَمُجْرِيَ السَّحَابِ وَهَازِمَ الأَحْزَابِ، اهْزِمْهُمْ وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ ‏"‏.

He then said,, "O Allah! The Revealer of the (Holy) Book, the Mover of the clouds, and Defeater of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans of infidels), defeat them infidels and bestow victory upon us
বাংলা অনুবাদ
অতঃপর তিনি তাঁর সাহাবীদের সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে ঘোষণা দিলেনঃ হে লোক সকল! শত্রুর সঙ্গে মোকাবেলায় অবতীর্ণ হবার কামনা করবে না এবং আল্লাহ্ তা‘আলার নিকট নিরাপত্তার দু‘আ করবে। অতঃপর যখন তোমরা শত্রুর সম্মুখীন হবে তখন তোমরা ধৈর্যধারণ করবে। জেনে রাখবে, জান্নাত তরবারীর ছায়ার নীচে অবস্থিত। অতঃপর আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম দু‘আ করলেন, হে আল্লাহ্! কুরআন নাযিলকারী, মেঘমালা পরিচালনাকারী, সেনাদল পরাভূতকারী, আপনি কাফির সম্প্রদায়কে পরাজিত করুন এবং আমাদেরকে তাদের উপর বিজয় দান করুন। (২৮১৮) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৭৪৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
