Read More..It has been narrated on the authority of 'Abbas who said: I was in the company of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the Day of Hunain. I and Abd Sufyan b. Harith b. 'Abd al-Muttalib stuck to the Messenaer of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and we did not separate from him. And the Messenger of Allah (may place be upon him) was riding on his white mule which had been presented to him by Farwa b. Nufitha al-Judhami. When the Muslims had an encounter with the disbelievers, the Muslims fled, falling back, but the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) began to spur his mule towards the disbelievers. I was holding the bridle of the mule of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) checking it from going very fast, and Abu Sufyan was holding the stirrup of the (mule of the) Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), who said: Abbas, call out to the people of al-Samura. Abbas (who was a man with a loud voice) called out at the top of the voice: Where are the people of Samura? (Abbas said: ) And by God, when they heard my voice, they came back (to us) as cows come back to their calves, and said: We are present, we are present! 'Abbas said: They began to fight the infidels. Then there was a call to The Ansar. Those (who called out to them) shouted: O ye party of the Ansar! O party of the Ansar! Banu al-Harith b. al-Khazraj were the last to be called. Those (who called out to them) shouted: O Banu Al-Harith b. al-Khazraj! O BanU Harith b. al-Khazraj! And the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) who was riding on his mule looked at their fight with his neck stretched forward and he said: This is the time when the fight is raging hot. Then the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took (some) pebbles and threw them in the face of the infidels. Then he said: By the Lord of Muhammad, the infidels are defeated. 'Abbas said: I went round and saw that the battle was in the same condition in which I had seen it. By Allah, it remained in the same condition until he threw the pebbles. I continued to watch until I found that their force had been spent out and they began to retreat.
Read More..A version of the tradition has been transmitted through another chain of narrators. In this version the words uttered by the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (after he had thrown the pebbles in the face of the enemy) are reported as: By the Lord of the Ka'ba, they have been defeated. And there is at the end the addition of the words: Until Allah defeated them (and I imagine) as if I saw the Prophet of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) chasing them on his mule.

Read More..It has been narratedon the authority of Abu Ishaq who said: A man asked Bara' (b. 'Azib): Did you run away on the Day of Hunain. O, Abu Umira? He said: No, by Allah, The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not turn his back; (what actually happened was that) some young men from among his companions, who were hasty and who were either without any arms or did not have abundant arms, advanced and met a party of archers (who were so good shots) that their arrows never missed the mark. This party (of archers) belonged to Banu Hawazin and Banu Nadir. They shot at the advancing young men and their arrows were not likely to miss their targets. So these young men turned to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) while he was riding on his white mule and Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith b. 'Abd al-Muttalib was leading him. (At this) he got down from his mule, invoked God's help, and called out: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am the son of 'Abd al-Muttalib. Then he deployed his men into battle array.

He replied: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not retreat. (What actually happened was that some hasty young men who were either inadequately armed or were unarmed met a group of men from Banu Hawazin and Banu Nadir who happened to be (excellent) archers. The latter shot at them a volley of arrows that did not miss. The people turned to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). Abu Sufyan b. Harith was leading his mule. So he got down, prayed and invoked God's help. He said: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib. O God, descend Thy help. Bara' continued: When the battle grew fierce. we, by God. would seek protection by his side, and the bravest among us was he who confronted the onslaught and it was the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ).
