We conquered Mecca and then we went on an expedition to Hunain. The polytheists came, forming themselves into the best rows that I have seen. They first formed the rows of cavalry, then those of infantry, and then those of women behind them. Then there were formed the rows of sheep and goats and then of other animals. We were also people large in number, and our (number) had reached six thousand. And on one side Khalid b. Walid was in charge of the cavalry. And our horses at once turned back from our rear. And we could hardly hold our own when our horses were exposed, and the bedouins and the people whom we knew took to their heels. (Seeing this) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called thus: O emigrants, O emigrants. He then. said: O Ansar, O Ansar. (Anas said: This hadith is transmitted by a group of eminent persons.) We said: At thy beck and call are we, Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then advanced and he (Anas) said: By Allah, we had not yet reached them when Allah defeated them. and we took possession of the wealth and we then marched towards Ta'if, and we besieged them for forty nights. and then came back to Mecca and encamped (at a place), and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to bestow a hundred camels upon each individual. The rest of the hadith is the same.

[Machine] We conquered Mecca, and then we fought at Hunayn. The polytheists came with the best formations you could see. The cavalry lined up in ranks, followed by the soldiers, followed by the women behind them, and then the sheep and camels. Khalid bin Al-Walid said, "Our horses took refuge behind us." He said, "We had not stayed for long before our horses were uncovered and the Bedouins fled, and whoever knew the people said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has called the emigrants and the Ansar. O emigrants! O emigrants! O Ansar! O Ansar!' Anas said, 'This is a statement of my paternal uncle (i.e., 'Umair bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas).' We said, 'Here we are, O Messenger of Allah!' He said, 'So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went forward.' He said, 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! We did not encounter them until Allah overcame them.' He said, 'So we gathered up that wealth.' He said, 'Then we went to Ta'if and besieged them for forty nights. Then we returned to Mecca.' He said, 'So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would give a hundred to a man and give a hundred to a man.' He said, 'So the Ansar began discussing among themselves: Whomever he fights, he gives it to him, and whomever he does not fight, he does not give it to him.' So the Hadith was elevated to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until he commanded the Serayah of the migrants and the Ansar that they should enter upon him. Then he said, 'Only my Ansar should enter upon me, or the Ansar.' So we entered the Chamber until it was filled. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Ansar, or whatever he said, what has come to me?' They said, 'What has come to you, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'What has come to me?' They said, 'What has come to you, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Don't you want the people to take the wealth and you take the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to your homes?' They said, 'We are pleased, O Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If the people take one road and the Ansar take another road, I would take the road of the Ansar.' They said, 'We are pleased, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'So be pleased, or whatever he said.'
