1 hadithسَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمَّا حَفَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْخَنْدَقَ مَرُّوا بِكُدْيَةٍ فَتَنَاوَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْمِعْوَلَ مِنْ يَدِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) أَوْ مِنْ يَدِ سَلْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا ضَرْبَةً فَتَفَرَّقَتْ بِثَلَاثِ فِرَقٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَقَدْ فُتِحَ عَلَيَّ فِي ضَرْبَتِي هَذِهِ كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى وَ قَيْصَرَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ يَعِدُنَا بِكُنُوزِ كِسْرَى وَ قَيْصَرَ وَ مَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ يَخْرُجَ يَتَخَلَّى.
264. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from one of his men, from Abu Abdullah having said: When the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم dug the trench (Al-Khandaq), he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم came across a rock. So the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم took a pickaxe from the hand of Amir-ul-Momineen عليه الصلاة والسلام, or from the hand of Salman رضي الله عنه. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم struck by it at the rock and it split into three pieces. The Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: ‘With this strike the treasures of Chosroe and Caesar have opened up for me صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. So one of them (Abu Bakr or Umar) said to his companion, ‘He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم promises us with the treasures of Chosroe and Caesar whilst no one of us has the control to go out for the toilet’.
