despite that they had already made a covenant with Allah that they would not turn their backs; and a covenant with Allah has to be answered for. [15] (3)*

(1)* These verses refer to the battle of Ahzab, also known as ‘the battle of Khandaq’ in which different tribes of Arabia, led by the Quraish invaded upon Madinah, and the Holy Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him defended the city by digging a trench.

(2)* It means that although they are escaping from the battle-field on the pretext that their homes are not safe, yet if the forces of the enemy invite them to join the battle against Muslims, after their having entered the city from all sides, they would easily join them in their mischief against Muslims, and would no more remain in their homes. It shows that their pretext is sham.

(3)* That is, everyone who enters into a covenant with Allah, has to answer how he has fulfilled it.

The true believers will be rewarded, the hypocrites punished other verses:

That Allah may reward the true men for their truth, and punish the hypocrites if He will, or relent toward them (if He will). Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. 33:24

On the day when their faces are turned over in the Fire, they say: Oh, would that we had obeyed Allah and had obeyed His messenger! 33:66

So Allah punisheth hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and idolatrous men and idolatrous women. But Allah pardoneth believing men and believing women, and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful . 33:73

If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbours in it but a little while. Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a(fierce) slaughter. (33:60-61, 2:278-279, 9:73, 49:9)

The disbelievers of Arabia, the Jews and the Christians all joined in a united front against Muslims and resolved to attack Madinah and fight a conclusive battle. This they did, determined to eradicate Islam and Muslims from the face of the earth. The battle is called ‘al-Ahzab’ in the Qur’an, and ‘Khandaq in history, because the Holy Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him had decided in consultation with his Companions that a khandaq or trench be dug around parts of Madinah to block the unhindered attack of the enemy during this battle. And this is what happened:

The Holy Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him was taking part in this digging op­eration as an individual like everybody else. By chance, the diggers came upon a huge rock in a certain part of the trench. Those who were assigned to dig that part of the trench tried their best to break it apart but they became helpless and gave up. 

They asked Sayyidna Salman al-Farisi Radhi-Allahu Anh: Allah be pleased with him to go to the Holy Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him, tell him about the problem and seek his instructions in this connection. The Holy Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him immediately came at the spot, took the pick­axe in his blessed hands and struck at the rock. The rock was shattered into pieces and from it rose a streak of light which illuminated the area far and wide. The Holy Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam: Peace be upon him said: ‘In this light, I see the palaces and buildings of Hirah in the country of Persia.

He struck again and a second beam of light rose. He said: ‘In this light, I was shown the red palaces and buildings of the Byzantinians.’ When he struck the third time and the flame beamed its light around, he said: ‘In this I was shown the great palaces of San’a in Yemen.’ Then, he said: ‘I share the good news given by Jibra’il with you that my community of Muslims will prevail over allthese countries.’

When the hypocrites of Madinah heard about it, they found an occasion to ridicule Muslims just look at these people, here they are all scared of the enemy, digging trenches without eating and resting, not knowing for sure if their own lives will be safe, yet they are dreaming of running over Persia, Byzantine and Yemen!’ It was in answer to a people so unfair and unjust that Allah Almighty revealed the verse:

The full verse is;
Say: “O Allah, O Lord of the Kingdom, You give kingdom to whom You will, and take kingdom away from whom You will; and You bestow honour on whom You will, and bring disgrace to whom You will. In Your hand lies the good. “over all things You have power”.”(3:26)

[Note 7a]
“Oh, Allah! Make easy for us our situations/tasks with rest for our hearts and our bodies; and peace and “well-being” in our spiritual and worldly lives and be to us our Companion in our journey and the Guardian of our family.”

This starts with a dua asking Allah to make things easy in all tasks, even this dua meaning, the Hizbul Bahr and its purpose of using it as a means getting  success in meeting ones needs to be made easy and that our bodies and hearts are given Peace and then seeks protection or well-being, as ‘afiya or ‘well-being’, is interesting as its used in many Duas for Seeking Protection and we are encouraged to ask Allah for  ‘afiya.

The Prophet(S) said, “Anyone of you for whom the door to du’a’ has been opened, the doors to mercy have been opened for him. And the thing that Allah likes Most to be asked for is ‘afiyah (well-being, health, security, protection).” (Tirmidhi and Ibn majah)

Abu Bakr (ra) said that Prophet (S) said, ask Allah for al-afw and al-‘Afiyah because the next best thing after certainty is Afiyah. (Sahih Al Jamia)

The Dua:
Allahumma Inni Asaluka Al-Afwa wal-Afiyah
O Allah I ask you for forgiveness and Protection

Al Afw- it is the forgiveness of sins and concealing them from others. In essence, we are asking Allah to conceal all things we would be ashamed of becoming public. This includes our shortcomings, mistakes and sins. And furthermore, we not only ask Allah to kindly keep them hidden from others, but we further ask Him to forgive us those wrongs.

Al Afiyah- It is Allahs protection from all sins, sickness, harm and punishment. In essence, this is asking Allahs protection from things harmful to us and our interests in this world. This includes matters that pertain to our worldly issues and issues that deal with our life hereafter.
`Afiyah means safe from disease, grief and troubles. “Passing of the safety (`Afiyah)” signifies the change from a state of good health to a state of illness and weakness or that one is overtaken by troubles and afflictions.

Ask Allah for `Afiya – for your sins to be forgiven and wiped away, so that it is as if you never even committed them.

Another Hadith with ‘Afiya;
“Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min zawali ni`matika, wa tahawwuli `afiyatika, wa fuja’ati niqmatika, wa jami`i sakhatika (O Allah! I seek refuge in You against the declining of Your Favours, passing of safety, the suddenness of Your punishment and all that which displeases You).”

After Seeking Protection the dua then Seeks Destruction of ones enemies, “Efface the faces of our enemy. Freeze them in their places so that they are unable to go or to come against us.”  And is a reference of the following verses of Quran that are used after it, from Surah Yasin were, Allah warns the ones that followed Satan, the verses before this  Allah says “Today We shall put a seal on their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us and their feet shall bear witness to what they had been doing” (36:65)  and then the 2 verses of threats or warning which are used in the Hizbul Bahr of how helpless Allah makes them or can make you. 

“If We willed We would have wiped out their eyes, then they would have raced to the Way, but how would they have seen? And if We willed, We would have frozen them in their places, neither could they go forth or could they return” (36:66-67)

So your eyes by virtue of whose sight you are carrying out all your obligations in the world can be blinded at one command of Allah. And your legs on whose strength you are showing all this activity can become paralyzed as and when Allah wills.

You can now see the energy of destruction of ones enemies is being asked from; “Efface the faces of our enemy. Freeze them in their places so that they are unable to go or to come against us” coupled with the following verses of Quran (36:66-67) that are only used more of a threat, the two brings the feeling of imminent destruction of ones enemies.

The reasons for blowing all 7 directions is that there are  7 ways the devil and jinns can attack, meaning the directions they can came or enter into your body and the 7th is your Sadr-Chest refering to ones heart. Four of the seven are openly mentioned by Satan himself in the Quran;

From the Quran: He [Satan] said: “By Your misguidance of me, I will lie in ambush for them on your straight path. Then I will come at them, from in front of them and behind them, from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them thankful.” (Qur’an, 7:16-17)

So  Shaytan says; “I will lie in ambush for them on your straight path then I will come at them” (Qur’an) So beware that the Shaytan is setting up traps for us. What is an ambush, it  means  a planned surprise attack, the act of lying in wait to attack by surprise, a sudden attack made from a concealed position. So Shaytan and his  minions or serving Shaytan Jinns are always planning to attack us, from not four but all seven directions;

As for Blowing; know that Shaytan blows on you and does other Vileness to the Son of Adam  too
“Shaitan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and( blows) the following words, ‘The night is long, so stay asleep.’ When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart.”

The other Vileness of Shaytan
So he blows duas to make you lazy and sleep long and miss Fajr, And if you Miss Fajr salah, then Shaytan URINATES in your ear,(As-salaatu khayrun min an-nawm- and so’ Pray is better then Sleep’) and thus uses your ear as toliet,he stays up your nose when you sleep (he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice in wudu ), when any baby is born he pokes or pinches that baby so that baby cries (except Jesus, the son of Mary and Mary), he passes wind (farts) at when both the Adhan and Iqama is said and causes issues while in Salah too, such as causing forgetfulness of rakah.

Shaytan eats your food if you dont say Bismillah  and sleeps (gate crashs your house if you dont give salam as you enter your homes)  and will even join in with sexual acts if you dont say Bismillah when you enter  your wives, and laughs and looks at your private parts when you undress thus say Bismillah when you undress your private parts or pull  down your clothes  when going to the toliet and then  evil Jinns and devils will not be able to see your ‘awra- or naknesses. and Shaytan will enter you if you yawn thus its sunnah to cover your mouth when you yawn and if you are anger Shaytan runs through your blood.

So learn to be calm when angered. And also from Surah Nas 114 we are told another one the 7 ways or directions of Shaytan enters the Heart,”4.From evil of the whisperer, 5. Who whispers in the breasts of mankind,  6. Of jinn and men.” Surah Nas  114:4-6.

Al-Hafidh Abu Ya’la Musily quoted a Hadith which reported the Prophet as saying: “Satan puts his hand on the heart of man. If he celebrates the remembrance of Allah he removes his hand and if he forgets Allah, Satan overcomes his heart fully. This is the ‘evil of the whisperer.’ “

Ibn ‘Abbas, says that the Satan is lying in wait for man. When he forgets Allah, he starts whispering, and when he begins the remembrance of Allah, he retreats. And one sees now the importance of finally the 7th Reciting of  Ha-Mim and then blow across into ones hands and rub across (chest-Heart-Sadr). These are the 7 directions for protection from shaytan while he lies to ambush from all 7 directions.

Also Shaykh Muhammad Yaqoubi mentions, there are also 7 surahs that start with Haa-Meem. Each Ha-Meem, is refering to each of those surahs.  

Also those surahs which start with Ha-meem are also used are protection from hell too see below.
