Sayyiduna al-Harith bin Badal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn I was present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). All of his companions were routed except Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw a handful of earth toward us, and we were routed, and it seemed to me that every tree and stone was pursuing us.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
