أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ضَمْرَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ السَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سُكَيْنَةَ، - رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّرِينَ - عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَمَّا أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِحَفْرِ الْخَنْدَقِ عَرَضَتْ لَهُمْ صَخْرَةٌ حَالَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْحَفْرِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَخَذَ الْمِعْوَلَ وَوَضَعَ رِدَاءَهُ نَاحِيَةَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَقَالَ " { تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلاً لاَ مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ } " . فَنَدَرَ ثُلُثُ الْحَجَرِ وَسَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَائِمٌ يَنْظُرُ فَبَرَقَ مَعَ ضَرْبَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَرْقَةٌ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الثَّانِيَةَ وَقَالَ " { تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلاً لاَ مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ } " . فَنَدَرَ الثُّلُثُ الآخَرُ فَبَرَقَتْ بَرْقَةٌ فَرَآهَا سَلْمَانُ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الثَّالِثَةَ وَقَالَ " { تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقًا وَعَدْلاً لاَ مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ } " . فَنَدَرَ الثُّلُثُ الْبَاقِي وَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخَذَ رِدَاءَهُ وَجَلَسَ . قَالَ سَلْمَانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُكَ حِينَ ضَرَبْتَ مَا تَضْرِبُ ضَرْبَةً إِلاَّ كَانَتْ مَعَهَا بَرْقَةٌ . قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَا سَلْمَانُ رَأَيْتَ ذَلِكَ " . فَقَالَ إِي وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ " فَإِنِّي حِينَ ضَرَبْتُ الضَّرْبَةَ الأُولَى رُفِعَتْ لِي مَدَائِنُ كِسْرَى وَمَا حَوْلَهَا وَمَدَائِنُ كَثِيرَةٌ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهَا بِعَيْنَىَّ " . قَالَ لَهُ مَنْ حَضَرَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَفْتَحَهَا عَلَيْنَا وَيُغَنِّمَنَا دِيَارَهُمْ وَيُخَرِّبَ بِأَيْدِينَا بِلاَدَهُمْ . فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذَلِكَ " ثُمَّ ضَرَبْتُ الضَّرْبَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَرُفِعَتْ لِي مَدَائِنُ قَيْصَرَ وَمَا حَوْلَهَا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهَا بِعَيْنَىَّ " . قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَفْتَحَهَا عَلَيْنَا وَيُغَنِّمَنَا دِيَارَهُمْ وَيُخَرِّبَ بِأَيْدِينَا بِلاَدَهُمْ . فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذَلِكَ " ثُمَّ ضَرَبْتُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَرُفِعَتْ لِي مَدَائِنُ الْحَبَشَةِ . وَمَا حَوْلَهَا مِنَ الْقُرَى حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهَا بِعَيْنَىَّ " . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ " دَعُوا الْحَبَشَةَ مَا وَدَعُوكُمْ وَاتْرُكُوا التُّرْكَ مَا تَرَكُوكُمْ " .
Isa ibn Yunus informed us; he said: Damrah narrated to us, from Abu Zurah al-Saybani, from Abu Sukaynah—a man among the freedmen—from a man among the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered that the Trench be dug, a rock appeared before them, blocking their digging. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood, took the pickaxe, laid his cloak aside by the trench, and said: The word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and justice; none can alter His words, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. One-third of the rock broke away. Salman al-Farisi was standing and watching, and a flash of light shone with the Messenger of Allah’s strike. He struck it a second time and said: The word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and justice; none can alter His words, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Another third broke away, and a flash shone that Salman saw. He struck it a third time and said: The word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and justice; none can alter His words, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. The remaining third broke away. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came out, took his cloak, and sat down. Salman said: Messenger of Allah, I saw that every time you struck, a flash came with the blow. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked him: Salman, did you see that? He said: Yes, by the One who sent you with the truth, Messenger of Allah. He said: When I struck the first blow, the cities of Kisra and their surroundings, and many other cities, were brought into view before me, until I saw them with my own eyes. Those of his Companions who were present said: Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to grant us victory over them, give us the spoils of their lands, and let us destroy their cities with our own hands. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed for that. Then I struck the second blow, and the cities of Caesar and their surroundings were brought into view before me, until I saw them with my own eyes. They said: Messenger of Allah, ask Allah to grant us victory over them, give us the spoils of their lands, and let us destroy their cities with our own hands. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed for that. Then I struck the third blow, and the cities of Abyssinia and the villages around them were brought into view before me, until I saw them with my own eyes. At that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Leave the Abyssinians alone as long as they leave you alone, and leave the Turks alone as long as they leave you alone.
