﴿فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ﴾«لَا تَبْرَحُوا مَكَانَكُمْ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُونَا تَخْطَفُنَا الطَّيْرُ فَلَا تَبْرَحُوا.»The Prophet ﷺ commanded the archers on this hill: "Do not leave your post — even if you see the birds snatching us away, do not leave."
