﴿وَلَمَّا رَأَى الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْأَحْزَابَ قَالُوا هَٰذَا مَا وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَصَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ﴾«بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، أُعْطِيتُ مَفَاتِيحَ الشَّامِ، وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُبْصِرُ قُصُورَهَا الْحُمْرَ السَّاعَةَ.»When they could not break a rock in the Trench, the Prophet ﷺ struck it three times — it flashed each time. He said: "I have been given the keys of al-Sham — by Allah, I see her red palaces now" — then of Persia, then of Yemen.

"O Allah, Revealer of the Book, Swift in reckoning — defeat the Confederates; O Allah, rout them and shake them." Supplicate with it; recall the Confederates at the Trench.
A gentle reminder — Islamic adab at these places.
Recall the Prophet's ﷺ supplication: "O Allah, Revealer of the Book… defeat the Confederates."
