SUPPLICATION FOR VICTORY

53

“The Holy Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was on a campaign; while waiting for the sun to set he stood up and addressed his Companions saying, ‘Do not wish to fight, instead keep supplicating to Allah for security. But when you are confronted by the enemy, stand firm and remember that Paradise is under the shadow of the sword.’ Then he supplicated saying, ‘Allah, Revealer of the Book, Driver of the clouds, Vanquisher of hosts, vanquish them and help us to overcome.’"

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abdullah son of Abi Aufa who related this.
