It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were digging the trench along with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Battle of the Trench, and we were carrying the soil on our shoulders and taking it away. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), seeing this, began to say: O Allah! The real life is the life of the Hereafter. O Allah! Forgive the Muhajireen and the Ansar.
