English translation
2864. Narrated Abū Iṣḥāq: Somebody asked Al-Barā' bin 'Āzib, "Did you flee deserting Allāh's Messenger ﷺ during the battle of Hunain?" (Al-Barā') replied, "But Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not flee. The people of the tribe of Hawāzin were good archers. When we met them, we attacked them, and they fled. When the Muslims started collecting the war booty, Al-Muṣṛikūn faced us with arrows, but Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not flee. No doubt, I saw him on his white mule and Abū Sufyān was holding its reins and the Prophet ﷺ was saying, 'I am the Prophet without a lie: I am the son of 'Abdul Muṭṭalib.'"
