أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ السَّيْبَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سُكَيْنَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّرِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِحَفْرِ الْخَنْدَقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَرَضَتْ لَهُمْ صَخْرَةٌ حَالَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْحَفْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَخَذَ الْمِعْوَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَوَضَعَ رِدَاءَهُ نَاحِيَةَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ [سورة الأنعام آية 115] ،‏‏‏‏ فَنَدَرَ ثُلُثُ الْحَجَرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَائِمٌ يَنْظُرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَرَقَ مَعَ ضَرْبَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَرْقَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الثَّانِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ [سورة الأنعام آية 115]،‏‏‏‏ فَنَدَرَ الثُّلُثُ الْآخَرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَرَقَتْ بَرْقَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَآهَا سَلْمَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الثَّالِثَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ[ سورة الأنعام آية 115]،‏‏‏‏ فَنَدَرَ الثُّلُثُ الْبَاقِي،‏‏‏‏ وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ وَجَلَسَ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُكَ حِينَ ضَرَبْتَ مَا تَضْرِبُ ضَرْبَةً إِلَّا كَانَتْ مَعَهَا بَرْقَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا سَلْمَانُ رَأَيْتَ ذَلِكَ ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِي وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنِّي حِينَ ضَرَبْتُ الضَّرْبَةَ الْأُولَى رُفِعَتْ لِي مَدَائِنُ كِسْرَى وَمَا حَوْلَهَا وَمَدَائِنُ كَثِيرَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهَا بِعَيْنَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ حَضَرَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَفْتَحَهَا عَلَيْنَا وَيُغَنِّمَنَا دِيَارَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُخَرِّبَ بِأَيْدِينَا بِلَادَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ ضَرَبْتُ الضَّرْبَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرُفِعَتْ لِي مَدَائِنُ قَيْصَرَ وَمَا حَوْلَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهَا بِعَيْنَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَفْتَحَهَا عَلَيْنَا وَيُغَنِّمَنَا دِيَارَهُمْ وَيُخَرِّبَ بِأَيْدِينَا بِلَادَهُمْ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبْتُ الثَّالِثَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرُفِعَتْ لِي مَدَائِنُ الْحَبَشَةِ وَمَا حَوْلَهَا مِنَ الْقُرَى حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهَا بِعَيْنَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ دَعُوا الْحَبَشَةَ مَا وَدَعُوكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاتْرُكُوا التُّرْكَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ .

A man among the Companions of the the Prophet (ﷺ) said: When the Prophet (ﷺ) commanded them to dig the trench (Al-Khandaq), there was a rock in their way preventing them from digging. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood, picked up a pickaxe, put his Rida' (upper garment) at the edge of the ditch and said: 'And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.' [1] One-third of the rock broke off while Salman Al-Farisi رضی اللہ عنہ was standing there watching, and there was a flash of light when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) struck (the rock). Then he struck it again and said: 'And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. Nonce can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower' And another third of the rock broke off and there was another flash of light, which Salman saw. Then he struck (the rock) a third time and said: 'And the Word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can change His Words. And He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.' The last third fell, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out, picked up his Rida' and sat down. Salman رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Each time you struck the rock there was a flash of light.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: 'O Salman, did you see that?' He said: 'Yes, by the One Who sent you with the truth, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'When I struck the first blow, the cities of Kisra and their environs were shown to me, and many other cities, and I saw them with my own eyes.' Those of his Companions who were present said: 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to grant us victory and to give us their land as spoils of war, and to destroy their lands at our hands.' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed for that. (Then he said:) 'Then I struck the second blow and the cities of Caesar and their environs were shown to me, and I saw them with my own eyes.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah to grant us victory and to give us their lands as spoils of war, and to destroy their lands at our hands.' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed for that. (Then he said:) 'Then I struck the third blow and the cities of Ethiopia were shown to me, and the villages around them, and I saw them with my own eyes.' But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said at that point: 'Leave the Ethiopians alone so long as they leave you alone, and leave the Turks alone so long as they leave you alone.'
