Sahih al-Bukhari 2965

Translation

The freed slave of ʿUmar bin 'Ubaidullah who was ʿUmar's clerk: ʿAbdullah bin Abi ʿAufa wrote him (i.e. ʿUmar) a letter that contained the following:-- "Once Messenger of Allah ﷺ (during a holy battle), waited till the sun had declined and then he got up among the people and said, "O people! Do not wish to face the enemy (in a battle) and ask Allah to save you (from calamities) but if you should face the enemy, then be patient and let it be known to you that Paradise is under the shades of swords." He then said,, "O Allah! The Revealer of the (Holy) Book, the Mover of the clouds, and Defeater of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans of infidels), defeat them infidels and bestow victory upon us."
