وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِى كَثِيرُ بْنُ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَزِمْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَلَمْ نُفَارِقْهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ لَهُ بَيْضَاءَ أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نُفَاثَةَ الْجُذَامِىُّ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْكُفَّارُ وَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَرْكُضُ بَغْلَتَهُ قِبَلَ الْكُفَّارِ قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ وَ أَنَا آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِ بَغْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَكُفُّهَا إِرَادَةَ أَنْ لاَ تُسْرِعَ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ آخِذٌ بِرِكَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَىْ عَبَّاسُ نَادِ أَصْحَابَ السَّمُرَةِ ». فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ وَكَانَ رَجُلاً صَيِّتًا فَقُلْتُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِى أَيْنَ أَصْحَابُ السَّمُرَةِ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّ عَطْفَتَهُمْ حِينَ سَمِعُوا صَوْتِى عَطْفَةُ الْبَقَرِ عَلَى أَوْلاَدِهَا. فَقَالُوا يَا لَبَّيْكَ يَا لَبَّيْكَ - قَالَ - فَاقْتَتَلُوا وَالْكُفَّارَ وَالدَّعْوَةُ فِى الأَنْصَارِ يَقُولُونَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قُصِرَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ عَلَى بَنِى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ فَقَالُوا يَا بَنِى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ يَا بَنِى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ. فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ كَالْمُتَطَاوِلِ عَلَيْهَا إِلَى قِتَالِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « هَذَا حِينَ حَمِىَ الْوَطِيسُ ». قَالَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَصَيَاتٍ فَرَمَى بِهِنَّ وُجُوهَ الْكُفَّارِ ثُمَّ قَالَ « انْهَزَمُوا وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ ». قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ أَنْظُرُ فَإِذَا الْقِتَالُ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ فِيمَا أَرَى - قَالَ - فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ رَمَاهُمْ بِحَصَيَاتِهِ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَرَى حَدَّهُمْ كَلِيلاً وَأَمْرَهُمْ مُدْبِرًا.

It was narrated that Ibn Shihab said: Kathir bin 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib said: 'Abbas said: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) on the day of (of the battle of) Hunain. Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith bin 'Abdul-Muttalib and I stayed close to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and did not leave him. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was riding a white mule of his, that had been given to him by Farwah bin Nufathah Al-Judhami. When the Muslims and the Kuffar met, the Muslims turned and fled, but the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) spurred his mule towards the Kuffar. 'Abbas said: I was holding on to the reins of the mule of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), checking it so that it did not go too fast, and Abu Sufyan was holding on to the stirrup of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "O 'Abbas, call the people of Al-Samurah." 'Abbas - who was a man with a loud voice - said: I said at the top of my voice: Where are the people of Al-Samurah? He said: By Allah, when they heard my voice, they came back like cows coming back to their calves, saying: "Here we are, here we are!" They fought with the Kuffar, then the call went out to the Ansar: O Ansar, O Ansar! And the last to be called were Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. They said: O Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj, O Banu Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj! The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), seated on his mule, craned his neck to watch the fighting, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Now the battle is raging." Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) took some pebbles and flung them at the faces of the Kuffar, then he said: "They are defeated, by the Lord of Muhammad (s.a.w)!" Then I went and looked, and saw that the fighting was as it had been before. He said: By Allah, all he did was throw some pebbles at them. Then their force was spent and they began to retreat.
