Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) strike the rock in the trench so that it broke, and is it the stronger view that his statement: (I was given the strength of thirty) is general?

The questioner : Is it argued that the Messenger was given strength other than the strength... when he lifted the rock?
The Shaykh : No, the fact that he struck the rock in the Battle of the Confederates and it broke is one of the signs of Allah. For this reason, light or fire came out of it, and through it they saw the palaces of Sana'a and the palaces of Sham. This is one of the signs of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The questioner : Is there a connection between the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was given the strength of thirty and the fact that he had nine wives?
The Shaykh : No, the fact that he would visit them all in a single ablution; an ordinary person is not able to visit nine women in a single ablution.
