Remembrance 5 from Chapter 158

Allāhumma Munzila-l-Kitāb, wa Mujriya-s-saḥāb, wa Hāzima-l-aḥzāb, ahzimhum wa-nṣurnā ‘alayhim.

We relate in both Ṣaḥīḥs from ‘Abdullāh ibn Abī Awfā who reported that the Messenger of Allah , on one of the days that he met the enemy, waited until the sun rose, then stood among the people and said: “O people, do not look forward to meeting the enemy, but ask Allah for well-being. When you meet them, be steadfast. And know that Paradise is under the shadow of swords.” Then he said: “O Allah, Revealer of the Book, Mover of the clouds, Defeater of the tribes, rout them and convulse them.” ^[4].
