English Translation
Sahl ibn Sa'd said: I was with the Prophet (peace be upon him) at the Trench (al-Khandaq). He took a pickaxe and dug with it, and it hit a rock. He laughed. They asked: "What makes you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "I laughed at people who will come to you from the east, being driven to Paradise while they are unwilling."
