Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever flees from two (that is, from an enemy twice his number) has truly fled, and whoever flees from three has not fled."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
