Volume 4 Book 52 Hadith 98

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 98:
Narrated Ibn Aun:
Once Musa bin Anas while describing the battle of Yamama, said, “Anas bin Malik went to Thabit
bin Qais, who had lifted his clothes from his thighs and was applying Hunut to his body. Anas asked,
‘O Uncle! What is holding you back (from the battle)?’ He replied, ‘O my nephew! I am coming just
now,’ and went on perfuming himself with Hunut, then he came and sat (in the row). Anas then
mentioned that the people fled from the battle-field. On that Thabit said, ‘Clear the way for me to
fight the enemy. We would never do so (i.e. flee) in the company of Allah’s Apostle. How bad the
habits you have acquired from your enemies!”

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 717:
Narrated Ibn Aun:
I wrote a letter to Nafi and Nafi wrote in reply to my letter that the Prophet had suddenly attacked
Bani Mustaliq without warning while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the
places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and children were taken as cap –
tives; the Prophet got Juwairiya on that day. Nafi said that Ibn ‘Umar had told him the above narra –
tion and that Ibn ‘Umar was in that army.
