Sayyiduna Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He participated in the Battle of Tabuk with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the mounts became extremely weak. The people complained to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that their mounts had become weak, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ordered them to pass through a narrow path. The people passed through there, and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was saying: "Pass through taking the name of Allah." He would blow on their mounts and say: "O Allah! Make riding on this easy in Your path, for You alone provide mounts for the strong and the weak, and on the dry and the wet, You provide mounts on land and sea." Sayyiduna Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When we reached Madinah, it became difficult for us to control those mounts (i.e., they were moving swiftly). So I thought that this is the result of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) supplication regarding the strong and the weak, but what could be the case regarding the dry and the wet? Then, when we went to Syria and participated in the Battle of Cyprus and I saw large (warships), I realized that this too was the result of the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) supplication.
