[Machine] "We strike the enemy from our faces, and how awful that you have accustomed your peers! By Allah, this is not how we used to fight with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
عَنْ وُجُوهِنَا نُضَارِبُ الْعَدُوَّ ولَبِئْسَ مَا عَوَّدْتُمْ أَقْرَانَكُمْ وَاللهِ مَا هَكَذَا كُنَّا نُقَاتِلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ»

Once Musa bin Anas while describing the battle of Yamama, said, "Anas bin Malik went to Thabit bin Qais, who had lifted his clothes from his thighs and was applying Hunut to his body. Anas asked, 'O Uncle! What is holding you back (from the battle)?' He replied, 'O my nephew! I am coming just now,' and went on perfuming himself with Hunut, then he came and sat (in the row). Anas then mentioned that the people fled from the battle-field. On that Thabit said, 'Clear the way for me to fight the enemy. We would never do so (i.e. flee) in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. How bad the habits you have acquired from your enemies!"
عَنْ وُجُوهِنَا حَتَّى نُضَارِبَ الْقَوْمَ مَا هَكَذَا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِئْسَ مَا عَوَّدْتُمْ أَقْرَانَكُمْ رَوَاهُ حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ
