Volume 4, Book 52, Number 181:
Narrated Abu Ishaq:
A man asked Al-Bara', "O Abu 'Umara! Did you all flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" He
replied, "No, by Allah! Allah's Apostle did not flee, but his young unarmed companions passed by the
archers of the tribe of Hawazin and Bani Nasr whose arrows hardly missed a target, and they threw
arrows at them hardly missing a shot. So the Muslims retreated towards the Prophet while he was
riding his white mule which was being led by his cousin Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith bin 'Abdul Mut –
talib. The Prophet dismounted and invoked Allah for victory; then he said, 'I am the Prophet, without
a lie; I am the son of 'Abdul Muttalib, and then he arranged his companions in rows."
