that a man asked him. "O Abu 'ʿUmara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" He replied, "No, by Allah, the Prophet ﷺ did not flee but the hasty people fled and the people of the Tribe of Hawazin attacked them with arrows, while the Prophet ﷺ was riding his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding its reins, and the Prophet ﷺ was saying, 'I am the Prophet ﷺ in truth, I am the son of ʿAbdul Muttalib.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 2874)
لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ أَوَلَّيْتُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللهِ مَا وَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَلَكِنْ وَلَّى سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ تَلَقَّتْهُمْ هَوَازِنُ بِالنَّبْلِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ
