Sahih Muslim Hadith 4619

English

[46191 81 – (1777) Iyâs bin Salamah, who was the son of Al- Akwa', said: My father told me: We fought alongside the Messenger of Allah . at Hunain. When we faced the enemy, I advanced and climbed a hillock, and a man of the enemy turned towards me, so I shot him with an arrow, but he ducked and I did not realize what he had done. Then I looked at the people, who had appeared from another hillock, and they met, they and the Companions of the Prophet . The Companions of the Prophet . turned back and I began to retreat. I was wearing two garments, one around my waist and the other on my shoulders. My Izâr became loose, so I was holding on to both of them. I passed by the Messenger of Allah , when I was running away, and he was on his white mule. The Messenger of Allah said: "The son of A1-Akwa' has come back in fear." When they gathered around the Messenger of Allah , he dismounted and picked up a handful of dust from the ground, then he threw it in the direction of (the enemy) and said: "May their faces be deformed." There was not one man among them whom Allah had created, but his face was filled with dust from that handful, and they turned and fled. Thus Allah defeated them, and the Messenger of Allah divided their booty among the Muslims. Chapter 29. The Battle Of At- (_L6i k&' t) – (S Ta'if (r ai)
