said to us: 'Did you flee from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ O Abū 'Umārah?' He said: "No. By Allāh! I did not flee from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, but some hasty people fled and (the tribe of) Hawāzin assaulted them with arrows. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was on his white mule, and Abū Sufyān bin Al-Hārith bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib was holding its reigns. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was saying: 'I am the Prophet without lie, I am the son of 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib.'" (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali, and Ibn 'Umar.
