I was in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the Day of Hunain. I and Abd Sufyan b. Harith b. 'Abd al-Muttalib stuck to the Messenaer of Allah ﷺ and we did not separate from him. And the Messenger of Allah (may place be upon him) was riding on his white mule which had been presented to him by Farwa b. Nufitha al-Judhami. When the Muslims had an encounter with the disbelievers, the Muslims fled, falling back, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to spur his mule towards the disbelievers. I was holding the bridle of the mule of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ checking it from going very fast, and Abu Sufyan was holding the stirrup of the (mule of the) Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: Abbas, call out to the people of al-Samura. Abbas (who was a man with a loud voice) called out at the top of the voice: Where are the people of Samura? (Abbas said: ) And by God, when they heard my voice, they came back (to us) as cows come back to their calves, and said: We are present, we are present! 'Abbas said: They began to fight the infidels. Then there was a call to The Ansar. Those (who called out to them) shouted: O ye party of the Ansar! O party of the Ansar! Banu al-Harith b. al-Khazraj were the last to be called. Those (who called out to them) shouted: O Banu Al-Harith b. al-Khazraj! O BanU Harith b. al-Khazraj! And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was riding on his mule looked at their fight with his neck stretched forward and he said: This is the time when the fight is raging hot. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took (some) pebbles and threw them in the face of the infidels. Then he said: By the Lord of Muhammad, the infidels are defeated. 'Abbas said: I went round and saw that the battle was in the same condition in which I had seen it. By Allah, it remained in the same condition until he threw the pebbles. I continued to watch until I found that their force had been spent out and they began to retreat.  

عَبَّاسٌ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَزِمْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نُفَارِقْهُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ لَهُ بَيْضَاءَ أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نُفَاثَةَ الْجُذَامِيُّ فَلَمَّا الْتَقَى الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَالْكُفَّارُ وَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُدْبِرِينَ فَطَفِقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْكُضُ بَغْلَتَهُ قِبَلَ الْكُفَّارِ قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ وَ أَنَا آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِ بَغْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَكُفُّهَا إِرَادَةَ أَنْ لاَ تُسْرِعَ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ آخِذٌ بِرِكَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَىْ عَبَّاسُ نَادِ أَصْحَابَ السَّمُرَةِ فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ وَكَانَ رَجُلاً صَيِّتًا فَقُلْتُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِي أَيْنَ أَصْحَابُ السَّمُرَةِ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّ عَطْفَتَهُمْ حِينَ سَمِعُوا صَوْتِي عَطْفَةُ الْبَقَرِ عَلَى أَوْلاَدِهَا فَقَالُوا يَا لَبَّيْكَ يَا لَبَّيْكَ قَالَ فَاقْتَتَلُوا وَالْكُفَّارَ وَالدَّعْوَةُ فِي الأَنْصَارِ يَقُولُونَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قُصِرَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ عَلَى بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ فَقَالُوا يَا بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ يَا بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ كَالْمُتَطَاوِلِ عَلَيْهَا إِلَى قِتَالِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذَا حِينَ حَمِيَ الْوَطِيسُ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَصَيَاتٍ فَرَمَى بِهِنَّ وُجُوهَ الْكُفَّارِ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْهَزَمُوا وَرَبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ أَنْظُرُ فَإِذَا الْقِتَالُ عَلَى هَيْئَتِهِ فِيمَا أَرَى قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ أَنْ رَمَاهُمْ بِحَصَيَاتِهِ فَمَا زِلْتُ أَرَى حَدَّهُمْ كَلِيلاً وَأَمْرَهُمْ مُدْبِرًا  

[Machine] I witnessed the Battle of Hunayn with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ and there was no one with him except me and Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib. So we stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and did not leave him. He was riding a white mule, or perhaps Mammar said it was a white horse, that Fahdah ibn Na'amah al-Judhami gave to him as a gift. When the Muslims met the polytheists, the Muslims turned to flee and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned his mule towards the polytheists. Abbas said, 'I will take hold of the reins of the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ mule and control it.' So he did, and he did not give up those reins as fast as he could towards the polytheists. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith took hold of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by his belt. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Abbas, call out to the Ansar (helpers), 'O People of the Oath of Allegiance (Samarah)!' So I, being a man with a loud voice, said loudly, 'Where are the People of the Oath of Allegiance (Samarah)?' By Allah, when they heard my voice, they responded like the lowing of a cow for its calf, saying, 'Labbayka, Labbayka, Labbayka' (at your service!). Then the Muslims advanced and engaged in battle with the polytheists. The callers then called upon the Banu al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj (the Ansar from the tribe of Banu al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj) saying, 'O Banu al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj!' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked back while still on his mule and said, 'This is the moment when the Abyssinians were defeated.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took some small stones and threw them at the faces of the polytheists. He said, 'They have been defeated, by the Lord of the Kaaba, they have been defeated, by the Lord of the Kaaba.' I looked and I saw that they continued to be defeated and their affair was in disarray until Allah caused their defeat. It is as if I am seeing the Prophet ﷺ riding his mule behind them."

[Machine] I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the day of Hunayn. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with no one but me and Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib. We stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and did not leave him. He was riding a gray or perhaps white mule, which was gifted to him by Furwah ibn Nufathah al-Judhami. When the Muslims and the disbelievers met, the Muslims turned their backs while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ charged forward on his mule towards the disbelievers. Al-Abbas and I held the reins of the Messenger of Allah's ﷺ mule. He was not turning away or slowing down as he hastened towards the polytheists. Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith held onto the bridle of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out, "O Abbas, call out to the Ashab al-Samurah (the companions of al-Samurah)." I, being a loud-voiced person, called out loudly, "O Ashab al-Samurah!" By Allah, it seemed as if the Muslims had received a jolt when they heard my voice, rushing towards the enemy. The Muslims and the disbelievers clashed in battle, and the Ansar called out, "O Ansar!" The call then only focused on the Banu al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj, who responded, "O Banu al-Harith ibn al-Khazraj!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked back at me while riding his mule, as if he was looking for something, until he said, "This is when the pillar is guarded (the Messenger of Allah referred to himself)." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took pebbles and threw them at the faces of the disbelievers, saying, "They are defeated, by the Lord of the Kaaba, they are defeated, by the Lord of the Kaaba." I looked and saw that the battle was taking its natural course. By Allah, the enemy did not appear except as a small group, retreating until Allah defeated them. It seemed as if I could see the Prophet ﷺ riding behind them on his mule.
