We shall not flee



These are supposedly the words of a poem the Prophetﷺ  recited when they were surrounded by hordes of enemies around the Trench.

وَاللَّهِ لَوْلا اللَّهُ مَا اهْتَدَيْنَا
وَلا تَصَدَّقْنَا وَلا صَلَّيْنَا
فَأَنْزِلَنْ سَكِينَةً عَلَيْنَا
وَثَبِّتِ الأَقْدَامَ إِنْ لاقَيْنَا
إِنَّ الأُولَى قَدْ بَغَوْا عَلَيْنَا
إِذَا أَرَادُوا فِتْنَةً *أَبَيْنَا*
إنَّ المَلَا قدْ أَبَوْا عَلَيْنَا

By Allah had it not been for You
We would not have been guided

Nor would we have given in charity, nor prayed
So, bestow on us tranquility
And make our feet firm when we meet the enemy, 
For indeed, if they want to put us in affliction (ie want to fight against us)
We shall not flee (but withstand them)
