حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِى إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلْبَرَاءِ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ أَفَرَرْتُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا وَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَلَكِنَّهُ خَرَجَ شُبَّانُ أَصْحَابِهِ وَأَخِفَّاؤُهُمْ حُسَّرًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ سِلاَحٌ أَوْ كَثِيرُ سِلاَحٍ فَلَقُوا قَوْمًا رُمَاةً لاَ يَكَادُ يَسْقُطُ لَهُمْ سَهْمٌ جَمْعَ هَوَازِنَ وَبَنِى نَصْرٍ فَرَشَقُوهُمْ رَشْقًا مَا يَكَادُونَ يُخْطِئُونَ فَأَقْبَلُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَقُودُ بِهِ فَنَزَلَ فَاسْتَنْصَرَ وَقَالَ « أَنَا النَّبِىُّ لاَ كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ ». ثُمَّ صَفَّهُمْ.

It was narrated that Abu Ishaq said: A man said to Al-Bara': O Abu 'Umarah, did you run away on the day of (of the battle of) Hunain? He said: No, by Allah, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) did not turn his back, but some young men among his Companions were hasty and ill-prepared. They did not have any weapons, or many weapons, and they met some archers from among Hawazin and Banu Nasr whose arrows hardly ever missed their targets. They shot at them, and hardly any of their arrows missed. They came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was on his white mule, and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith bin 'Abdul-Muttalib was leading it. He (s.a.w) dismounted and prayed for help, saying: "I am the Prophet and no doubt I am the son of 'Abdul-Muttalib." Then he formed them into ranks.
