Sirat Ibn Hisham 1133
What appeared of miracles
[ مَا أَرَى اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ مِنْ الْفَتْحِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحُدِّثْتُ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ضَرَبْتُ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ مِنْ الْخَنْدَقِ، فَغَلُظَتْ عَلَيَّ صَخْرَةٌ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرِيبٌ مِنِّي؛ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي أَضْرِبُ وَرَأَى شِدَّةَ الْمَكَانِ عَلَيَّ، نَزَلَ فَأَخَذَ الْمِعْوَلَ مِنْ يَدِي، فَضَرَبَ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً لَمَعَتْ تَحْتَ الْمِعْوَلِ بُرْقَةٌ؛ قَالَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِهِ ضَرْبَةً أُخْرَى، فَلَمَعَتْ تَحْتَهُ بُرْقَةٌ أُخْرَى؛ قَالَ: ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِهِ الثَّالِثَةَ، فَلَمَعَتْ تَحْتَهُ بُرْقَةٌ أُخْرَى. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا هَذَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ لَمَعَ تَحْتَ الْمِعْوَلِ وَأَنْتَ تَضْرِبُ ؟ قَالَ: أَوَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ يَا سَلْمَانُ ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ؛ قَالَ: أَمَّا الْأُولَى فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ فَتَحَ عَلَيَّ بِهَا الْيَمَنَ؛ وَأَمَّا الثَّانِيَةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ فَتَحَ عَلَيَّ بِهَا الشَّامَ وَالْمَغْرِبَ؛ وَأَمَّا الثَّالِثَةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ فَتَحَ عَلَيَّ بِهَا الْمَشْرِقَ قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ، حِينَ فُتِحَتْ هَذِهِ الْأَمْصَارُ فِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ وَزَمَانِ عُثْمَانَ وَمَا بَعْدَهُ: افْتَتِحُوا مَا بَدَا لَكُمْ، فَوَاَلَّذِي نَفْسِي أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِيَدِهِ، مَا افْتَتَحْتُمْ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ وَلَا تَفْتَتِحُونَهَا إلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إلَّا وَقَدْ أَعْطَى اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ مَفَاتِيحَهَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ
Translation
✧ What God showed His Messenger of the conquest. Ibn Isḥāq said: I was told from Salmān al-Fārisī that he said: I was striking in a part of the trench, and a rock became hard for me, and the Messenger of God ﷺ was near me. When he saw me striking and saw the severity of the place upon me, he came down and took the pickaxe from my hand and struck with it a blow, and a flash gleamed beneath the pickaxe. He said: Then he struck with it another blow, and another flash gleamed beneath it. He said: Then he struck with it the third, and another flash gleamed beneath it. He said: I said: By my father and my mother, O Messenger of God, what is this that I saw gleaming beneath the pickaxe while you were striking? He said: Did you indeed see that, O Salmān? He said: I said: Yes. He said: As for the first, God opened for me by it Yemen; as for the second, God opened for me by it Syria and the West; and as for the third, God opened for me by it the East. Ibn Isḥāq said: And one whom I do not suspect told me from Abū Hurayrah that he used to say, when these garrison towns were conquered in the time of ʿUmar and the time of ʿUthmān and after: Conquer whatever appears to you, for by Him in Whose hand is the soul of Abū Hurayrah, you have not conquered any city, nor will you conquer it until the Day of Resurrection, but God, glorified be He, had already given Muḥammad ﷺ its keys before that.
