ASSISTANCE FROM THE KING OF MADINA, MUHAMMAD MUSTAFA (SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM)
Sayyidah Bibi Maimoonah Radiyallahu Anha narrates, “Once at night, while RasoolAllah (SallallahuAlaihi Wasallam) was performing wudhu in the house, he suddenly began to say very loudly, “Labbayk, labbayk (I am present for you)”, as well as the following three times very loudly, “You have been helped.” After finishing his ablution, he then proceeded to the main area of his house. I asked, “O Prophet of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)! Who were you talking to?” He answered, “Maimoonah, something dreadful has happened. The Banu Khaza’ah, my haleef, was suddenly attacked by both the Banu Bakr and Kuffaar of the Quraish, and in this state of helplessness, they called out for help to me. I had heard their plea and answered back to them.” Sayyidah Maimoonah Radiyallahu Anha states that three days after this incident RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) went to Musjidun‐Nabawee to lead Fajr salaah. Upon completing it, the Banu Khaza’ah had arrived and began to relate the oppression that they had faced. Sayyiduna RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) as well as his Sahaabah Radiyallahu Anhuma listened very attentively as they said,
“O Allah (Subhan Wa Taala) We remind Muhammad of the agreement that was instituted by our forefathers between us.”
“May Allah (Subhan Wa Taala) keep you on the path of salvation always; Please help us and call other servants of Allah (Subhan Wa Taala) to do so. ”
“An angry Prophet of Allah is amongst the people who shall help, and if he receives any dishonour, his countenance shall be changed.”
“These people (the Banu Bakr and Quraish) attacked us in a place called Wateer while we were asleep, and killed us heartlessly while we were in ruku and sajdah.”
“Indeed the Quraish have been treacherous and have broken the agreement between you and them.”
To console them after hearing these stanzas, RasoolAllah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Don’t worry, I am ready to help you.” (Zarqaani, Vol. 2, Pg. 290)
