It is narrated by Abu Nadr that he learnt from a letter sent by a man from the Aslam tribe; who was a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ and whose name was Abdullah Bin Abu Aufa; to Umar Bin Ubaidullah when the latter marched upon Haruriya Khawarij informing him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in one of those days when lie was confronting the enemy waited until the sun had declined. Then he stood up to address the people and said: O ye men; do not wish for an encounter with the enemy. Pray to Allah to grant you security; but when you have to encounter them exercise patience; and you should know that Paradise is under the shadows of the swords. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up again and said: O Allah. Revealer of the Book; Disperser of the clouds; Defeater of the hordes; put our enemy to rout and help us against them.
