A man asked Al-Bara "O Abu 'ʿUmara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al-Bara replied while I was listening, "As for Messenger of Allah ﷺ he did not flee on that day. Abu Sufyan bin Al- Harith was holding the reins of his mule and when the pagans attacked him, he dismounted and started saying, 'I am the Prophet, and there is no lie about it; I am the son of ʿAbdul Muttalib.' On that day nobody was seen braver than the Prophet.

سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ الْبَرَاءَ ؓ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ أَوَلَّيْتُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ أَمَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُوَلِّ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَانَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ آخِذًا بِعِنَانِ بَغْلَتِهِ فَلَمَّا غَشِيَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَزَلَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لاَ كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ قَالَ فَمَا رُئِيَ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ

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."

سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ ؓ وَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ أَتَوَلَّيْتَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَلِّ وَلَكِنْ عَجِلَ سَرَعَانُ الْقَوْمِ فَرَشَقَتْهُمْ هَوَازِنُ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِرَأْسِ بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ يَقُولُ {أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لاَ كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ}
