420. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hisham Bin Saalim, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from the one who narrated to him, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah  has said: ‘The Rasool Allah ﷺ stood upon the mound on which is the Masjid Al-Fatah during the military expedition of Al-Ahzaab is (built), on a dark cold night. So he ﷺ said: ‘Who will go and bring their news to us, and the Paradise will be for him’. No one stood up. He ﷺ then repeated it. Still no one stood up’. Abu Abdullah  said, with a hand gesture: ‘What the people wanted was something higher than the Paradise’. Then he ﷺ said; ‘Who is this?’ He said, ‘Huzeyfa’. So he ﷺ said; ‘Did you not hear my ﷺ words since the night and I ﷺ have been speaking? Come closer’. So Huzeyfa stood up and he was saying, ‘It was neither the cold nor the harm which prevented me, may I be sacrificed for you ﷺ’. So the Rasool Allah ﷺ said: ‘Go to them until you can hear their speech, and come to me ﷺ with their news’. So when he went, the Rasool Allah ﷺ said; ‘Our Allah (azwj)! Protect him from his front, and from his back, and from his right, and from his left, until he returns’. And the Rasool Allah ﷺ said to him; ‘O Huzeyfa, do not narrate anything until you come to me ﷺ’. So he took his sword, and his bow, and his shield. Huzeyfa said, ‘I went out and I was not affected by the cold weather, I passed by the Door of the Ditch (Baab Al-Khandaq) which had been overcome by the Believers from the Infidels’. So when Huzayfa left, the Rasool Allah ﷺ arose and called out: ‘وَ نَادَى يَا صَرِيخَ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ اكْشِفْ هَمِّي وَ غَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي فَقَدْ تَرَى حَالِي وَ حَالَ أَصْحَابِي’ ‘O Helper of the afflicted, and O Responder to the distressed, Uproot my ﷺ stress, and my ﷺ grief, and my ﷺ affliction, for You (azwj) can See my ﷺ condition, and the condition of my ﷺ companions!’ So Jibraeel  descended unto him ﷺ and said; ‘O Rasool Allah ﷺ! Verily Allah (azwj) has Heard your ﷺ speech, and your ﷺ supplication, and has Answered you ﷺ, and Suffices for you ﷺ against your ﷺ enemies’. So the Rasool Allah ﷺ went down on his ﷺ knees, and extended his ﷺ hands, and shed tears from his ﷺ eyes, then said: ‘شُكْراً شُكْراً كَمَا رَحِمْتَنِي وَ رَحِمْتَ أَصْحَابِي’ ‘Thank You (azwj), thank You (azwj) for being Merciful to me ﷺ and to my ﷺ companions’. Then the Rasool Allah ﷺ said: ‘Allah (azwj) has Sent upon them a wind from the sky to the world in which was gravel, and a wind from the fourth sky in which was a rock’. Huzeyfa said, ‘I went out and I saw that the people had lit many fires. And the first soldier of Allah (azwj), a wind in which was gravel, struck them. So it did not leave any of their fires except that it extinguished it, no tent except that it uprooted it, and no spear except that it flung it away, to the extent that they were defending themselves against the gravel with their shields and we could hear the sound of the gravel striking the shields’. Huzayfa sat down in between two men from the Polytheists. Iblees (la) stood up in the form of an obedient man among the Polytheists. He (la) said, ‘O you people! You all have encamped in an area besides this sorcerer and the liar. Indeed! Nothing from his ﷺ matters has been forgotten. It has not been a good year. The shoes and the hooves have been destroyed. So return, and every man from among you should look at the one who is seated next to him’. Huzayfa said, ‘So I looked on my right and tapped on his shoulder and said, ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘Muawiya’. So I said to the one who was on my left, ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘Suhayl Bin Amro’. Huzayfa said, ‘And the greater soldier of Allah (azwj) arrived. So Abu Sufyan arose to be on his camel, then shouted among the Qureysh, ‘The safety, the safety!’ And Talha Al-Azdy said, ‘Muhammad ﷺ has increased your injuries!’ Then he climbed upon his camel and shouted among the Clan of Ashja’a, ‘The safety, the safety!’ And Uyayna Bin Hasan acted similarly. Then Al-Haris Bin Awf Al-Muzny acted similarly. Then Al-Aqra’a Bin Habis acted similarly. And so the confederated tribes (Al-Ahzaab) went away’. And Huzayfa returned to the Rasool Allah ﷺ and informed him ﷺ of the news. And Abu Abdullah  said: ‘It had resembled the Day of Judgement for them’.
