أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ زُهَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِيَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
«يَحْفِرُونَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ حَتَّى يَكَادُوا أَنْ يَرَوْا شُعَاعَ الشَّمْسِ فَيَقُولُونَ نَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ غَدًا فَيَرْجِعُونَ وَهُوَ أَشَدُّ مَا كَانَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتْ مُدَّتُهُمْ وَأَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُمْ عَلَى النَّاسِ قَالُوا نَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ كَهَيْئَةِ مَا تَرَكُوهُ فَيَحْفِرُونَهُ فَيَخْرُجُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَيَفِرُّ النَّاسُ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى حُصُونِهِمْ»

✧ «They dig every day until they are about to see the rays of the sun. Then they say, "We will return to it tomorrow." They return to it while it is even harder than it was, until when their time has come and God wants to send them against the people, they say, "We will return to it tomorrow, God willing." Then they return to it as they had left it and dig through it and come out against the people.» The Messenger of God ﷺ said: «Then the people will flee from them to their fortresses.»
