The Prophet was carrying earth with us on the day of the battle of Al-Ahzab (confederates) and I

Allah) ! Without You, we would not have been guided, nor would we have given in charity, nor
would we have prayed. So (O Allah!) please send tranquility (Sakina) upon us as they, (the chiefs of
the enemy tribes) have rebelled against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e. want to frighten us and
