حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ الزَّاهِدُ صَاحِبُ ثَعْلَبٍ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْعَنَزِيُّ ثنا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كَانَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَانْهَزَمَ فِيمَنِ انْهَزَمَ فَعَيَّرَهُ حَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ [البحر الكامل] إِنْ كُنْتِ كَاذِبَةَ الَّذِي حَدَّثْتِنِي فَنَجَوْتُ مَنْجَى الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ تَرَكَ الْأَحِبَّةَ
أَنْ يُقَاتِلَ دُونَهُمْ وَنَجَا بِرَأْسِ طَمْرَةَ وَلِجَامِ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ يَعْتَذِرُ مِنْ فِرَارِهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ [البحر الطويل] اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَرَكْتُ قِتَالَهُمْ حَتَّى رَمَوْا فَرَسِي بِأَشْقَرَ مُزْبَدِ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنِّي إِنْ أُقَاتِلْ وَاحِدًا أُقْتَلْ وَلَا يَنْكَأُ عَدُوِّي مَشْهَدِ فَصَدَفْتُ عَنْهُمْ وَالْأَحِبَّةُ بَيْنَهُمْ طَمَعًا لَهُمْ بِعِقَابٍ يَوْمَ مَرْصَدِ ثُمَّ غَزَا أَحَدًا مَعَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَمْ يَزَلْ مُتَمَسِّكًا بِالشِّرْكِ حَتَّى أَسْلَمَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ قَدْ رَوَتْ عَائِشَةُ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ

✧ He fought on their behalf and escaped with the head of his horse Tamrah and its bridle. Al-Harith b. Hisham said, excusing his flight that day [in al-tawil meter]: 'Allah knows I did not cease fighting them until they struck my horse with a frothing chestnut stallion. Then I knew that if I fought one more, I would be killed without harming my enemy in that scene. So I turned away from them while loved ones were among them, hoping for their punishment on a day of watch.' Then he fought at Uhud with the polytheists, and he did not cease adhering to polytheism until he embraced Islam on the day of the conquest of Makkah. Aisha narrated from al-Harith.
