حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ قَالَ:
لَمَّا كَانَ حَيْثُ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَحْفِرَ الْخَنْدَقَ عَرَضَ لَنَا فِي بَعْضِ الْجَبَلِ صَخْرَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ، لَا تَدْخُلُ فِيهَا الْمَعَاوِلُ، فَاشْتَكَيْنَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَآهَا أَخَذَ الْمِعْوَلَ وَأَلْقَى ثَوْبَهُ، وَقَالَ: بِسْمِ اللهِ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ ضَرْبَةً فَكَسَرَ ثُلُثَهَا، فَقَالَ [١]: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِحَ الشَّامِ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ قُصُورَهَا الْحُمْرَ السَّاعَةَ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَطَعَ ثُلُثًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِحَ فَارِسَ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ قَصْرَ الْمَدَائِنِ الْأَبْيَضَ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ: بِسْمِ اللهِ، فَقَطَعَ بَقِيَّةَ الْحَجَرِ، وَقَالَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِحَ الْيَمَنِ، وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ أَبْوَابَ صَنْعَاءَ

When the time came that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to dig the trench, a great, hard rock appeared before us in part of the mountain, which the pickaxes could not penetrate. So we complained of that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and when he saw it he took the pickaxe and put down his garment, and said: "In the name of Allah." Then he struck a blow and broke off a third of it, and said [1]: "Allah is the Greatest! I have been given the keys of Syria. By Allah, I see its red palaces at this very moment." Then he struck the second time and cut off another third, and said: "Allah is the Greatest! I have been given the keys of Persia. By Allah, I see the white palace of al-Madāʾin." Then he struck the third time and said: "In the name of Allah," and he cut off the rest of the rock, and said: "Allah is the Greatest! I have been given the keys of Yemen. By Allah, I see the gates of Ṣanʿāʾ."
