Hadith about the Dua

Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْزُوَ قَوْمًا، لَمْ يُغِرْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، فَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَذَانًا كَفَّ عَنْهُمْ، وَإِذَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ أَذَانًا أَغَارَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَكَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ‏"‏ إِنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِسَاحَةِ قَوْمٍ فَسَاءَ صَبَاحُ الْمُنْذَرِينَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Narrated Abu Huraira: Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to attack some people, he would wait until it was dawn. If he heard the Adhan (call to prayer), he would delay the attack; but if he did not hear the Adhan, he would attack them. The Prophet (ﷺ) also said, "When we approach the battlefield of a people, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned."
