Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar narrated to us — and the wording is that of Ibn al-Muthanna — they said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard al-Bara' say: On the day of al-Ahzab, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was carrying dirt with us, and indeed the dirt had concealed the whiteness of his belly, while he was saying: "By Allah, were it not for You, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given charity, nor would we have prayed. So send down tranquility upon us. Indeed, those [people] have refused [to submit] to us." He said: And sometimes he said: "Indeed, the chiefs have refused [to submit] to us. When they intend tribulation, we refuse." And he would raise his voice with it.
