Narrated Salim Abu An-Nadr:(the freed slave of ‘Umar bin ‘Ubaidullah) I was Umar’s clerk. OnceAbdullah bin Abi Aufa wrote a letter to ‘Umar when he proceeded toAl-Haruriya. I read in it that Allah’s Apostle in one of his militaryexpeditions against the enemy, waited till the sun declined and thenhe got up amongst the people saying, “O people! Do not wish to meetthe enemy, and ask Allah for safety, but when you face the enemy, bepatient, and remember that Paradise is under the shades of swords.”Then he said, “O Allah, the Revealer of the Holy Book, and the Moverof the clouds and the Defeater of the clans, defeat them, and grant us victory over them.”
