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.'"

2864 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَفَرَرْتُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ؟ قَالَ: لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَفِرَّ ، إِنَّ هَوَازِنَ كَانُوا قَوْمًا رُمَاةً، وَإِنَّا لَمَّا لَقِينَاهُمْ حَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ، فَانْهَزَمُوا فَأَقْبَلَ المُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى الغَنَائِمِ، وَاسْتَقْبَلُونَا بِالسِّهَامِ، فَأَمَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمْ يَفِرَّ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ البَيْضَاءِ، وَإِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا، وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لاَ كَذِبْ، أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ المُطَّلِبْ»
