[Husayni]

Ibn Kathīr says that on the occasion of the battle of Yamāmah, yā Muĥammadāh (O Muĥammad śallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam, help us) was the battle-cry of the Muslims. He adds that during the war, Khālid bin al-Walīd picked up the flag, and passing through the army positions, set out towards the mountain of Musaylimah, the Liar. He waited there for him to turn up so that he could kill him. Then he returned and, standing between the two armies, he shouted:




I am the son of al-Walīd. I am the son of Āmir and Zayd.



Ibn Kathīr further adds:




Then he raised the battle-cry current among the Muslims, which was yā Muĥammadāh (O Muĥammad śallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam, help us). [Ibn Kathīr, al-Bidāyah wan-Nihāya (vol. 5, pp. 30)].



In this tradition the Muslims are relying on the beloved Prophet’s śallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam means and calling him for help, and the Muslims who are committing this act are the Companions. Thus to call the Prophet śallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam for help and rely on his means was a practice of the Companions.

(yesterday I asked Our Mother Hazrat Fatimah Tul Zahra Sadiyah A.S for help - gave me the goosebumps - I felt at ease ALLAH-TALLAH Were listening)
Ya Muhammadah (ALLAH Hu Akbar)

How do you select who to ask for help?
