Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ يَنْقُلُ مَعَنَا التُّرَابَ وَلَقَدْ وَارَى التُّرَابُ بَيَاضَ بَطْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَوْلَا أَنْتَ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا وَلَا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلَا صَلَّيْنَا فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا إِنَّ الْأُلَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلَا قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ وَعَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَهُوَ يَحْمِلُ التُّرَابَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَهُوَ يَحْمِلُ التُّرَابَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah told us, from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard al-Bara' say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to carry earth with us on the day of the Confederates, and the dust indeed covered the whiteness of his belly, and he was saying, "O Allah, were it not for You, we would not have been guided, nor given charity, nor prayed. So send down tranquility upon us. Indeed the aggressors have transgressed against us"—and sometimes he said, "Indeed the assembly has transgressed against us"—"if they desire to cause discord, we refuse"—raising his voice with it. Mu'awiyah told us: Abu Ishaq told us—and from Sufyan, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara' ibn Azib, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the day of the Trench, carrying earth, and he mentioned something similar. Affan told us: Shu'bah told us: Abu Ishaq told us, from al-Bara', who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on the day of the Trench, carrying earth, and he mentioned something similar.
