WE RELATE FROM Ibn as-Sunnī from Anas Honorific symbol, who related: “We were with the Prophet Honorific symbol on a military campaign, when he encountered the enemy and I heard him say: ‘O Master of the Day of Judgment, You alone do I worship and You alone do I ask for help.’ I saw men fall to the ground with the angels beating them from the front and the back.” It is mustaḥabb to say what has been narrated in the previous chapter in the hadith related by Abū Mūsā al-Ash‘arī Honorific symbol.
