The Prophet's Supplication

When the army of Quraysh first appeared, Ibn Hishām says that when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saw them coming forward into the valley from their position behind the sandhill at ʿAqanqal, he said, "O Allah, these men advancing are Quraysh, in all their vanity and pride; they are antagonistic to You and are calling Your Prophet a liar. O Allah, give us Your victory that You promised us. O Allah, destroy them this morning." This was what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said when he first saw the army.
