"عَنِ الْبَرَاء قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو سُفْيان - يَقُودُ بِالنَّبِىِّ ﷺ بَغْلَتَهُ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَمَّا غَشِىَ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ الْمُشْرِكُونَ، نَزَلَ وَهوَ يَرْتَجِزُ يَقُولُ: أَنَا النَّبِىُّ لاَ كَذِبَ، أَنَا ابْن عَبْد الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ: فَمَا رُؤِىَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَشَدّ مِنْهُ".

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
