حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ: نَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ -يَعْنِي الْبُنَانِيَّ- وَهُوَ ثَابِتُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ
كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى جَلَسَ فَهَمَسَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَفْعَلُهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " أَفَطِنْتُمْ لِمَا أَصْنَعُ ؟ " قُلْنَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ نَبِيًّا أَعْجَبَهُ كَثْرَةُ قَوْمِهِ، فَقَالَ: لَنْ يَغْلِبَ هَؤُلَاءِ شَيْءٌ، أَوْ قَالَ: لَنْ يُغْلَبُوا هَؤُلَاءِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: خَيِّرْ قَوْمَكَ إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: إِمَّا أَنْ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَهُمْ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجُوعَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَوْتَ، فَأَخْبَرَ بِذَلِكَ قَوْمَهُ، قَالُوا: فَاخْتَرْ لَنَا فَقَدْ وَكَّلَنَا رَبُّكَ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ: فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى " - قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَكَانُوا يَفْزَعُونَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ - فَقَالَ: يَا رَبِّ، أَمَّا أَنْ تُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَهُمْ فَلَا، وَأَمَّا أَنْ تُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْجُوعَ فَلَا، وَلَكِنِ الْمَوْتَ، فَمَاتَ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " فَهَمْسِي الَّذِي تَرَوْنَ أَنْ أَقُولَ: اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَحُولُ، اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصُولُ، اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أُقَاتِلُ ". قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ: وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

✧ When he prayed, he sat and whispered, and he had not done that before. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: 'Have you noticed what I am doing?' We said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I remembered a prophet who was impressed by the large number of his people. He said: "Nothing will defeat these people," or he said: "These people will never be defeated." It was said to him: "Give your people a choice of one of three things: either I unleash upon them an enemy from other than them who will annihilate them, or I unleash upon them hunger, or I unleash upon them death." He informed his people of that. They said: "Choose for us, for your Lord has entrusted us to you." So he performed ablution and prayed.' Sulayman said: 'They used to resort to prayer in times of fear.' He said: 'O Lord, as for unleashing their enemy upon them to annihilate them, no. As for unleashing hunger upon them, no. But rather death.' Then seventy thousand died in three days. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'My whispering that you see is that I say: "O Allah, with You I move; O Allah, with You I charge; O Allah, with You I fight."' Sulayman b. al-Mughirah said: 'And there is no might and no power except with Allah.'
