[4619] 81 - (1777) Iyâs bin Salamah, who was the son of Al-Akwa', said: My father told me: We fought alongside the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ at Hunain. When we faced the enemy, I advanced and climbed a hillock, and a man of the enemy
turned towards me, so I shot him with an arrow, but he ducked and I did not realize what he had done. Then I looked at the people, who had appeared from another hillock, and they met, they and the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ turned back and I began to retreat. I was wearing two garments, one around my waist and the other on my shoulders. My Izâr became loose, so I was holding on to both of them. I passed by the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ when I was running away, and he was on his white mule. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The son of Al-Akwa' has come back in fear." When they gathered around the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, he dismounted and picked up a handful of dust from the ground, then he threw it in the direction of (the enemy) and said: "May their faces be deformed." There was not one man among them whom Allâh had created, but his face was filled with dust from that handful, and they turned and fled. Thus Allâh defeated them, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ divided their booty among the Muslims.

81 - (1777) وحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي إِيَاسُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حُنَيْنًا، فَلَمَّا وَاجَهْنَا الْعَدُوَّ تَقَدَّمْتُ فَأَعْلُو ثَنِيَّةً، فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ، فَأَرْمِيهِ بِسَهْمٍ فَتَوَارَى عَنِّي، فَمَا دَرَيْتُ مَا صَنَعَ، وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ طَلَعُوا مِنْ ثَنِيَّةٍ أُخْرَى، فَالْتَقَوْا هُمْ وَصَحَابَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَوَلَّى صَحَابَةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَرْجِعُ مُنْهَزِمًا، وَعَلَيَّ بُرْدَتَانِ مُتَّزِرًا بِإِحْدَاهُمَا مُرْتَدِيًا بِالْأُخْرَى، فَاسْتَطْلَقَ إِزَارِي فَجَمَعْتُهُمَا جَمِيعًا، وَمَرَرْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْهَزِمًا وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الشَّهْبَاءِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ رَأَى ابْنُ الْأَكْوَعِ فَزَعًا»، فَلَمَّا غَشُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ عَنِ الْبَغْلَةِ، ثُمَّ قَبَضَ قَبْضَةً مِنْ تُرَابٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَ بِهِ وُجُوهَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: «شَاهَتِ الْوُجُوهُ»، فَمَا خَلَقَ اللهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنْسَانًا إِلَّا مَلَأَ عَيْنَيْهِ تُرَابًا بِتِلْكَ الْقَبْضَةِ، فَوَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِينَ، فَهَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَقَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَنَائِمَهُمْ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
