He said: I bear witness that the Prophet of Allah did not retreat, but some hasty and ill- prepared young men went out and met this tribe of Hawâzin, who were archers. They shot a volley of arrows at them and did not miss, and the people retreated. Then the people started coming to the Messenger of Allah when Abü Sufyán bin Al-Hárith was leading his mule, and he () dismounted and called upon Allah, seeking His help, and saying: "I am the Prophet and no doubt I am the son of 'Abdul-Muttalib. 0 Allah, send down Your help." Al-Barâ' said: By Allah, when the battle grew fierce, we sought protection by his side, and the brave ones among us were those who managed to stand I' side.
