The battle cry of the Muslims on the day of the trench
[ شِعَارُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ ] وَكَانَ شِعَارُ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَبَنِيَّ قُرَيْظَةَ: حم، لَا يُنْصَرُونَ [ شَأْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ في الأحزاب ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو لَيْلَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، أَخُو بَنِي حَارِثَةَ: أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَانَتْ فِي حِصْنِ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَحْرَزِ حُصُونِ الْمَدِينَةِ. قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ مَعَهَا فِي الْحِصْنِ؛ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُضْرَبَ عَلَيْنَا الْحِجَابُ: فَمَرَّ سَعْدٌ وَعَلَيْهِ دِرْعٌ لَهُ مُقَلَّصَةٌ، قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْهَا ذِرَاعُهُ كُلُّهَا، وَفِي يَدِهِ حَرْبَتُهُ يَرْقُدُ بِهَا وَيَقُولُ لَبِّثْ قَلِيلًا يَشْهَدْ الْهَيْجَا جَمَلْ لَا بَأْسَ بِالْمَوْتِ إذَا حَانَ الْأَجَلْ ( قَالَ ) فَقَالَتْ لَهُ أُمُّهُ: الْحَقُّ: أَيْ بني، فَقَدْ وَاَللَّهِ أَخَّرْتُ؛ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَقُلْتُ لَهَا: يَا أُمَّ سَعْدٍ، وَاَللَّهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ دِرْعَ سَعْدٍ كَانَتْ أَسْبَغَ مِمَّا هِيَ؛ قَالَتْ: وَخِفْتِ عَلَيْهِ حَيْثُ أَصَابَ السَّهْمُ مِنْهُ، فَرُمِيَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ بِسَهْمِ، فَقَطَعَ مِنْهُ الْأَكْحَلَ، رَمَاهُ كَمَا حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ، حِبَّانُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ الْعَرِقَةِ، أَحَدُ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ لُؤَيٍّ، فَلَمَّا أَصَابَهُ، قَالَ: خُذْهَا مِنِّي وَأَنَا ابْنُ الْعَرِقَةِ؛ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدُ: عَرَّقَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَكَ فِي النَّارِ، اللَّهُمَّ إنْ كُنْتَ أَبْقَيْتَ مِنْ حَرْبِ قُرَيْشٍ شَيْئًا فَأَبْقِنِي لَهَا، فَإِنَّهُ لَا قَوْمَ أَحَبَّ إلَيَّ أَنْ أُجَاهِدَهُمْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ آذَوْا رَسُولَكَ وَكَذَّبُوهُ وَأَخْرَجُوهُ، اللَّهُمَّ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَضَعْتُ الْحَرْبَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَاجْعَلْهُ لِي شَهَادَةً، وَلَا تُمِتْنِي حَتَّى تُقِرَّ عَيْنِي مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ
Translation
✧ [The battle-cry of the Muslims on the day of the trench] The battle-cry of the companions of the Messenger of God ﷺ on the day of the trench and against the Banū Qurayẓah was: Ḥā Mīm, they will not be helped. [The affair of Saʿd b. Muʿādh during the Aḥzāb] Ibn Isḥāq said: Abū Laylā ʿAbd Allāh b. Sahl b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Sahl al-Anṣārī, the brother of the Banū Ḥārithah, related to me that ʿĀʾishah, the Mother of the Believers, was in the fortress of the Banū Ḥārithah on the day of the trench, and it was one of the most secure fortresses of Madinah. He said: The mother of Saʿd b. Muʿādh was with her in the fortress. ʿĀʾishah said—and that was before the veil was imposed upon us: Saʿd passed by, wearing a short coat of mail of his, from which his entire forearm had emerged, and in his hand was his short spear, with which he was thrusting, and he was saying: Tarry a little, let the clamor of battle witness, O camel; there is no harm in death when the appointed time comes. He said: His mother said to him, “Catch up, my son, for by God, you have delayed.” ʿĀʾishah said: I said to her, “O Umm Saʿd, by God, I wish that Saʿd’s coat of mail were more ample than it is.” She said: I feared for him, where the arrow struck him. Saʿd b. Muʿādh was shot with an arrow, which severed his median vein. It was shot at him, as ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. Qatādah related to me, by Ḥibbān b. Qays b. al-ʿAriqah, one of the Banū ʿĀmir b. Luʾayy. When it struck him, he said, “Take it from me, and I am the son of al-ʿAriqah.” Saʿd said to him, “May God make your face sweat in the Fire. O God, if You have left anything of the war of Quraysh, then keep me alive for it; for there is no people I would rather strive against than a people who harmed Your Messenger, called him a liar, and expelled him. O God, if You have laid down the war between us and them, then make it a martyrdom for me, and do not let me die until You cool my eye from the Banū Qurayẓah.”
