حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ قَالَ نَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ قَالَ نَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ غَزَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ قَالَ فَجُهِدَ الظَّهْرُ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا قَالَ فَشُكِيَ إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَرَآهُمْ رِجَالًا قَالَ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَضِيقِ النَّاسِ فِيهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ قَالَ فَنَفَخَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْقَوِيِّ وَالضَّعِيفِ وَعَلَى الرَّطْبِ وَالْيَابِسِ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ قَالَ فَاسْتَمَرْتُ مِنْ طِلَاعِهَا قَالَ فَمَا دَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَّا وَهِيَ تُنَازِعُنَا أَزِمَّتُهَا وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ قَالَ فَجُهِدَ الظَّهْرُ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا قَالَ فَشُكِيَ إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ وَرَآهُمْ رِجَالًا قَالَ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَضِيقِ النَّاسِ فِيهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ قَالَ فَنَفَخَ فِيهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْقَوِيِّ وَالضَّعِيفِ وَعَلَى الرَّطْبِ وَالْيَابِسِ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ قَالَ فَاسْتَمَرْتُ مِنْ طِلَاعِهَا قَالَ فَمَا دَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَّا وَهِيَ تُنَازِعُنَا أَزِمَّتُهَا
English Translation
Ibrahim ibn Hani' narrated to us, he said: Yahya ibn 'Abdullah al-Harrani narrated to us, he said: Safwan ibn 'Amr narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jubayr, from Fadalah ibn 'Ubayd, may Allah be well pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace of Allah be upon him, went on the expedition of Tabuk. He said: The riding animals suffered greatly from exhaustion. He said: This was complained about to him, and he saw men walking. He said: The Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace of Allah be upon him, looked at a narrow pass where the people were gathered, and he stood there while the people passed by. He said: He blew on them and then said: "O Allah, carry them in Your cause, for indeed You carry the strong and the weak, the fresh and the dry, on land and sea." He said: I was amazed at the change, for we did not enter Madinah except that the animals were pulling at their reins.
