أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ السَّبَّاكُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَا نَعْلَمُ بِخَبَرِ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ جَيَّشُوا لَنَا فَاسْتَقْبَلْنَا وَادِيَ حُنَيْنٍ فِي عَمَايَةِ الصُّبْحِ وَهُوَ وَادِي أَجْوَفُ مِنْ أَوْدِيَةِ تِهَامَةَ إِنَّمَا يَنْحَدِرُونَ فِيهِ انْحِدَارًا قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيُتَابِعُونَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ بِشَيْءٍ إِذْ فَجِئَهُمُ الْكَتَائِبُ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ فَلَمْ يَنْتَظِرِ النَّاسُ أَنِ انْهَزَمُوا رَاجِعِينَ قَالَ وَانْحَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَقَالَ «أَيْنَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ؟ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ» وَكَانَ أَمَامَ هَوَازِنَ رَجُلٌ ضَخْمٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فِي يَدِهِ رَايَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ إِذَا أُدْرِكَ طَعَنَ بِهَا وَإِذَا فَاتَهُ شَيْءٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ دَفَعَهَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَرَصَدَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كِلَاهُمَا يُرِيدُهُ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ عَلِيٌّ عُرْقُوبَيِ الْجَمَلِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى عَجُزِهِ وَضَرَبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ سَاقَهُ فَطَرَحَ قَدَمَهُ بِنِصْفِ سَاقِهِ فَوَقَعَ وَاقْتَتَلَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْهَزِيمَةُ وَكَانَ أَخُو صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ لِأُمِّهِ قَالَ أَلَا بَطَلَ السِّحْرُ الْيَوْمَ وَكَانَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُشْرِكًا فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي ضَرَبَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَفْوَانُ اسْكُتْ فَضَّ اللَّهُ فَاكَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَأَنْ يَلِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَلِيَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ

✧ We set out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, unaware of the people who had gathered an army against us. We faced the valley of Ḥunayn in the darkness of dawn—it is a hollow valley among the valleys of Tihāmah; they descend into it steeply. By Allah, the people were moving along, knowing nothing, when suddenly battalions came at them from every side. The people did not wait but fled, turning back. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ moved to the right and said, “Where are you, people? I am the Messenger of Allah, I am Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh.” Before Hawāzin was a huge man on a red camel, holding a black banner: when he caught up with someone, he thrust it; when something escaped before him, he pushed it from behind. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, ؓ, and a man from the Anṣār lay in wait for him, both seeking him. ʿAlī struck the camel’s hamstrings, so it fell on its hindquarters, and the Anṣārī struck his shin, cutting off his foot with half his shin. He fell, and the people fought until the rout came. The maternal brother of Ṣafwān b. Umayyah said, “Indeed, magic is void today.” Ṣafwān b. Umayyah was then a polytheist, during the period the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had set for him. Ṣafwān said to him, “Be quiet, may Allah break your mouth! By Allah, a man of Quraysh ruling over me is dearer to me than a man of Hawāzin ruling over me.”
