Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39774 — The Battle of Hunayn and the reports

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the tribe of Hawazin brought their children, women, camels and goats with them at the Battle of Hunayn and arranged them in ranks so that they would appear more numerous before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the two sides met, the Muslims fled, as Allah Almighty has said. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O servants of Allah! I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger (and I am here)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O company of the Muhajirun! I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger (and I am here)." The narrator said: Then Allah Almighty inflicted defeat on the polytheists, without any sword being struck or any spear being thrust. The narrator said: And on that day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever kills a disbeliever, he shall take his belongings." Sayyiduna Anas said: So that day Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) killed twenty (20) men and took their belongings. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I struck a man on the neck with a sword and killed him. He was wearing a coat of mail, but someone took that coat of mail off before me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "See who has taken it." The narrator said: A man stood up and said: "I took that coat of mail. Satisfy him about it (that is, to give it up) and give it to me." Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked for anything, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would either give it or remain silent (that is, he would not refuse). So he (peace and blessings be upon him) (hearing this) remained silent. The narrator said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No, by Allah! Allah Almighty will not take this booty away from one of His lions and give it to you." The narrator said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed and said: "Umar has spoken the truth." Sayyiduna Abu Talhah met Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), and she had a dagger with her. Sayyiduna Abu Talhah asked: "O Umm Sulaym, what is this you have with you?" She said: "My intention is that if any of the polytheists comes near me, I will rip open his belly with this dagger and pull out his entrails." Sayyiduna Abu Talhah said (to him (peace and blessings be upon him)): "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), have you not heard what Umm Sulaym is saying?" Sayyidah Umm Sulaym said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), kill well those who are after us from among the Tulaqa'. O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), these people have been (soundly) defeated through you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said in reply: "Indeed Allah has sufficed and has done well."
