Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39768 — The Battle of Hunayn and the reports

Al-Hakam bin Utaybah narrates that when many people fled from him (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of the Battle of Hunayn, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am not a false prophet; I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib." The narrator said: So only four men remained with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Three men were from Banu Hashim and one man was from others besides them. Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) were in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) was holding the reins (of his (peace and blessings be upon him) mule), and Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was on his (peace and blessings be upon him) left side. The narrator said: Every disbeliever who advanced toward him (peace and blessings be upon him) was killed. The polytheists lay slain around him (peace and blessings be upon him), ringed like a crown.
