A man asked Al-Bara', "O Abu 'ʿUmara! Did you all flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" He replied, "No, by Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 ﷺ while he was riding his white mule which was being led by his cousin Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith bin ʿAbdul Muttalib. The Prophet ﷺ dismounted and invoked Allah for victory; then he said, 'I am the Prophet, without a lie; I am the son of ʿAbdul Muttalib, and then he arranged his companions in rows." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2930)   

لَا وَاللهِ مَا وَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنَّهُ خَرَجَ شُبَّانُ أَصْحَابِهِ وَأَخِفَّاؤُهُمْ حُسَّرًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ سِلَاحٌ أَوْ كَثِيرُ سِلَاحٍ فَلَقُوا قَوْمًا رُمَاةً لَا يَكَادُ يَسْقُطُ لَهُمْ سَهْمٌ جَمْعَ هَوَازِنَ وَبَنِي نَصْرٍ فَرَشَقُوهُمْ رَشْقًا لَا يَكَادُونَ يُخْطِئُونَ فَأَقْبَلُوا هُنَاكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَقُودُ بِهِ فَنَزَلَ وَاسْتَنْصَرَ وَقَالَ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ ثُمَّ صَفَّهُمْ
