«قال زيد بن أرقم: لا أقول لكم إلا كما كان رسول الله يقول، قال كان يقول: اللهم إني أعوذ بك من العجز والكسل والجبن والبخل والهرم وعذاب القبر، اللهم آت نفسي تقواها وزكها أنت خير من زكاها أنت وليها ومولاها، اللهم إني أعوذ بك من علم لا ينفع ومن قلب لا يخشع ومن نفس لا تشبع ومن دعوة لا يستجاب لها»

The Battle of the Trench (al-Ahzab)

In Shawwal 5 AH (February-March 627 CE), a confederate army of 10,000 Meccans and Bedouin allies besieged Medina; upon Salman al-Farisi's advice the Muslims dug a protective trench on their northern boundary; the siege endured for nearly a month amidst cold, hunger, and the treachery of Banu Qurayza, until broken by Nu'aym ibn Mas'ud's stratagem and a violent night windstorm.
