Sunan Abi Dawud 2655 (Book 15, Hadith 179) #22945
The Prophet's Battle Tactics

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) waited until the sun had passed the meridian, the winds blew, and help came down before engaging in battle.

Narrated An-Nu'man ibn Muqarrin: I was present at fighting along with the Messenger of Allah , and when he did not fight at the beginning of the day, he waited till the sun had passed the meridian, the winds blew, and help came down.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ النُّعْمَانَ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُقَرِّنٍ - قَالَ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا لَمْ يُقَاتِلْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ أَخَّرَ الْقِتَالَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ وَتَهُبَّ الرِّيَاحُ وَيَنْزِلَ النَّصْرُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the tactics used by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when engaging in battle. He would wait until after noon when the sun had passed its peak, and then he would wait for a wind to blow and for help to come down from Allah before beginning his fight. This teaches us that patience is key when it comes to difficult situations, as well as relying on Allah for assistance. We should also be mindful of our timing and use wisdom in our decisions so that we can achieve success with ease.
