Al-Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was carrying earth on the day of the Trench until his stomach was covered, saying:
By Allah, without Allah, we would not be guided … Nor give charity, nor pray.
So send down tranquility upon us … And make firm our feet if we meet.
Indeed, the enemies have oppressed us … When they intended tribulation, we refused.
He raised his voice, saying, “We refused, we refused.”
