Abu Hubayrah narrates from Sayyiduna Habib bin Maslamah al-Fihri (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was one whose supplications were answered, that he was appointed commander of an army, and he passed through the mountain passes. When he reached the enemy, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When a group gathers, and some of them supplicate while others say Amin, Allah Almighty surely answers them." Then he praised and extolled Allah Almighty and made this supplication: 'Allahumma ihqin dima'ana, waj'al ujurana ujur al-shuhada'' (O Allah, keep our blood safe, and grant us a reward equal to that of the martyrs). While they were in this state, the commander of the enemy (al-Hunbat) dismounted and came into the tent of Habib (may Allah be pleased with him).
