Sahih al-Bukhari 6620 (Book 82, Hadith 26) #6367
The Power of Supplication in Times of Difficulty

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions on the day of battle, emphasizing the importance of Allah's guidance and supplication for strength in times of difficulty.

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib: I saw the Prophet on the Day of (the battle of) Al-Khandaq, carrying earth with us and saying, "By Allah, without Allah we would not have been guided, neither would we have fasted, nor would we have prayed. O Allah! Send down Sakina (calmness) upon us and make our feet firm when we meet (the enemy). The pagans have rebelled against us, but if they want to put us in affliction (ie, fight us) we refuse (to flee)". .
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ حَازِمٍ ـ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ يَنْقُلُ مَعَنَا التُّرَابَ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ وَاللَّهِ لَوْلاَ اللَّهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا، وَلاَ صُمْنَا وَلاَ صَلَّيْنَا، فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا، وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاَقَيْنَا، وَالْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا، إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً أَبَيْنَا‏"‏‏.‏

On the day of battle known as Al-Khandaq, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was seen carrying earth with his companions and reminding them that without Allah's guidance they would not have been able to fast or pray. He then asked Allah for Sakina - a term which can refer to both physical and spiritual calmness - so that their feet would remain firm when they met their enemies. This hadith emphasizes how important it is to turn towards Allah during difficult times and ask Him for help; it also serves as a reminder that even in moments where we feel powerless or overwhelmed by our circumstances, we can always rely on His strength.
