—coarse to swallow and giving off a repugnant odor—yet it would be placed before the people. Al-Bukhari recorded this.

Shuʿbah and others said: “Abu Ishaq narrated to us; he heard al-Baraʾ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was carrying the earth with us on the Day of the Confederates. The dust had covered the whiteness of his armpits and he kept chanting:
O Allah, were it not for You we would not be guided,
nor would we give charity, nor would we pray;

ʿAbd al-Wāḥid ibn Ayman al-Makhzūmī reported, on the authority of his father, that he heard Jabir say: “On the Day of the Trench we were digging when a kadānah—that is, a large outcropping of rock—blocked the trench. We said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, a kadānah has appeared.’ He replied, ‘Sprinkle water over it.’ Then he came over, his stomach bound with a stone from hunger, took up the pick-axe (or spade), pronounced the Name of Allah three times and struck it, whereupon it turned into a heap of loose sand. I asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, permit me to go home,’ and he did. I went and said to my wife, ‘Do you have anything (to eat)?’” He then mentioned the rest of the story in words similar to what has already been related and to what we cited from Ibn Ishaq’s Maghazi. Al-Bukhari recorded it.
