حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْمٍ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ:
شَهِدْتُ حُنَيْنًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا هُزِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ، أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نُفَاثَةَ الْجُذَامِيُّ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْكُضُهَا فِي وُجُوهِ الْكُفَّارِ، وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تُسْرِعَ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ آخِذٌ بِغَرْزِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: نَادِ فِي أَصْحَابِ السَّمُرَةِ، فَنَادَيْتُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِي: يَا أَصْحَابَ السَّمُرَةِ، وَدَاعُونَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ: يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ، ثُمَّ قُصِرَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ عَلَى بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ، وَكَانُوا أَصْبَرَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، فَقَالُوا: يَا لَبَّيْكَ يَا لَبَّيْكَ، فَوَاللهِ مَا شَبَّهْتُ عَطْفَهُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا كَعَطْفِ بَقَرٍ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا، قَالَ: فَتَقَدَّمُوا فَاقْتَتَلُوا قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَنَاوَلَ قَبْضَةً مِنْ حَصْبَاءَ، فَرَمَى بِهَا وُجُوهَ الْقَوْمِ، وَقَالَ: شَاهَتِ الْوُجُوهُ، قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ مَا زِلْتُ أَرَى حَدَّهُمْ كَلِيلًا، وَأَمْرَهُمْ مُدْبِرًا حَتَّى هَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ

✧ I witnessed Hunayn with the Messenger of God ﷺ. When the Muslims were routed, and the Messenger of God ﷺ was on a mule that Farwah b. Nufathah al-Judhami had given him, the Messenger of God ﷺ spurred it toward the faces of the disbelievers while I held its bridle fearing it might bolt. Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith b. Abd al-Muttalib held the stirrup of the Messenger of God ﷺ. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Call out to the companions of the acacia tree.' I called at the top of my voice: 'O companions of the acacia tree!' And callers among the Ansar called: 'O company of the Ansar!' Then the call was restricted to Banu al-Harith b. al-Khazraj, and they were the most steadfast in facing death. They said: 'Labbayk, labbayk!' By God, I did not compare their turning toward the Messenger of God ﷺ except to cows turning toward their calves. He said: They advanced and fought fiercely. When the Messenger of God ﷺ saw that, he took a handful of pebbles and threw them at the faces of the people, saying: 'May the faces be ugly!' He said: By God, I kept seeing their edge blunted and their affair in retreat until God routed them.
