How did he say: (They kept us busy from the prayer), when there was no fighting at the Battle of the Trench?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is known that on the day of the Trench there was no fighting, so what is this being kept busy, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Perhaps, and Allah knows best, that some of them were trying to cross the trench, and these people were defending against them, or that they entered from some of the sides. Because how long was the Messenger besieged? About a month, it was not just one day.
The questioner : I mean, O Shaykh, on one of the days.
The Shaykh : Yes, on one of the days.
