حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كَانَ أَمَامَ هَوَازِنَ رَجُلٌ جَسِيمٌ عَلَى جَمَلٍ أَحْمَرَ فِي يَدِهِ رَايَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ ، إِذَا أُدْرِكَ طَعَنَ بِهَا ، وَإِذَا فَاتَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ دَفَعَهَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَأَنْفَذَهُ ، فَصَمَدَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كِلَاهُمَا يُرِيدُهُ ، قَالَ : فَضَرَبَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى عُرْقُوبَيِ الْجَمَلِ فَوَقَعَ عَلَى عَجُزِهِ ، قَالَ : وَضَرَبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ سَاقَهُ قَالَ : فَطَرَحَ قَدَمَهُ بِنِصْفِ سَاقِهِ فَوَقَعَ ، وَاقْتَتَلَ النَّاسُ .
وَخَرَجَ حِينَ كَانَتِ الْهَزِيمَةُ كَلَدَةُ - وَكَانَ أَخَا صَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ - يَوْمَئِذٍ مُشْرِكًا فِي الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي ضَرَبَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَلَا بَطَلَ السِّحْرُ الْيَوْمَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ صَفْوَانُ : اسْكُتْ فَضَّ اللهُ فَاكَ ، فَوَاللهِ لَأَنْ يَرُبَّنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَرُبَّنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the vanguard of the army of Hawazin there was a very heavily built man riding a red camel, with a black banner in his hand. Whoever he caught, he would wound with his spear, and if anyone escaped from in front of him, he would thrust the spear behind him and pierce him through. So Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and an Ansari Companion both advanced to confront him. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) struck the camel on its hamstrings so that it fell on its hindquarters, and the Ansari struck the man's shin so that his foot was cut off along with half his shin and it fell, and the people fought one another.
When the time of the (initial) rout (of the Muslims) came, Kaladah came out. He was the brother of Safwan bin Umayyah, and in those days he was still a polytheist, during the period that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had granted him. He said (on seeing the Muslims retreat): "Today the magic has come to nothing." Safwan rebuked him, saying: "Be quiet, may Allah break your mouth! By Allah, I would rather that a man of Quraysh became my master or ruler than be under the authority of a man of Hawazin."
