[Machine] "A man for Baraa, oh Abu Umara, I wish you were present on the day of Hunayn. He said, 'By Allah, the Prophet ﷺ did not flee, but people fled hastily and he faced them with calmness. I saw the Prophet ﷺ on his white riding animal and Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith held its reins, while he was saying, 'I am the Prophet, there is no lie. I am the son of Abdul Muttalib.'"

I heard Al-Bara' narrating when a man came and said to him, "O Abu 'ʿUmara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al-Bara' replied, "I testify that the Prophet ﷺ did not flee, but the hasty people hurried away and the people of Hawazin threw arrows at them. At that time, Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding the white mule of the Prophet ﷺ by the head, and the Prophet ﷺ was saying, "I am the Prophet ﷺ undoubtedly: I am the son of ʿAbdul-Muttalib."

I heard from Bara' who was asked by a man from the Qais tribe: Did you run away from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Hunain? Bara' said: But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not run away. On that day Banu Hawzzin took part in the battle as archers (on the side of the disbelievers). When we attacked them, they retreated and we fell upon the booty; (they rallied) and advanced towards us with arrows. (At that time) I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ riding on his white mule and Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith was holding its bridle. He (the Messenger of Allah was saying: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am a descendant of 'Abd al-Muttalib.

From Al-Bara' bin 'Azib who said: "A man said to us: 'Did you flee from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ O Abu 'Umarah ?'" He said: "No, By Allah! I did not flee from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but som hasty people fled and (the tribe of) Hawazin assaulted them with arrows.

[Machine] On the day of Hunayn, it was reported from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Al-Bara' said, "But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not flee. There were people throwing rocks at us, and when we attacked them, they were exposed, so we overpowered them and seized their goods as spoils. They faced us with arrows. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his white riding animal, while Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith was holding its reins and saying, 'I am the Prophet, there is no falsehood.
