2845. Narrated Ibn 'Aūn: Once Mūsā bin Anās while describing the battle of Yamāma, said, "Anās bin Mālik went to Ṭhabīt bin Qais, who had lifted his clothes from his thighs and was applying Hanūṭ to his body. Anās asked, 'O uncle! What is holding you back (from the battle)?' He replied, 'O my nephew! I am coming just now,' and went on perfuming himself with Hanūṭ, then he came and sat (in the row). Anās then mentioned that the people fled from the battlefield. On that Ṭhabīt said, 'Clear the way for me to fight the enemy. We would never do so (i.e., flee) in the company of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. How bad the habits you have acquired from your enemies!'"

Arabic text

2845 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: - وَذَكَرَ يَوْمَ اليَمَامَةِ - قَالَ: أَتَى أَنَسٌ ثَابِتَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ وَقَدْ حَسَرَ عَنْ فَخِذَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَتَحَنَّطُ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَمِّ، مَا يَحْبِسُكَ أَنْ لاَ تَجِيءَ؟ قَالَ: الآنَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، وَجَعَلَ يَتَحَنَّطُ - يَعْنِي مِنَ الحَنُوطِ - ثُمَّ جَاءَ، فَجَلَسَ، فَذَكَرَ فِي الحَدِيثِ، انْكِشَافًا مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: هَكَذَا عَنْ وُجُوهِنَا حَتَّى نُضَارِبَ القَوْمَ، «مَا هَكَذَا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِئْسَ مَا عَوَّدْتُمْ أَقْرَانَكُمْ»، رَوَاهُ حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ
