Musnad Abi Ya'la 6708 — he said: I was present with the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْمٍ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ حُنَيْنًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَلَمَّا هُزِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ ، أَهْدَاهَا لَهُ فَرْوَةُ بْنُ نُفَاثَةَ الْجُذَامِيُّ ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَرْكُضُهَا فِي وُجُوهِ الْكُفَّارِ ، وَأَنَا آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تُسْرِعَ ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ آخِذٌ بِغَرْزِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : نَادِ فِي أَصْحَابِ السَّمُرَةِ ، فَنَادَيْتُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِي : يَا أَصْحَابَ السَّمُرَةِ ، وَدَاعُونَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ : يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، ثُمَّ قُصِرَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ عَلَى بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ ، وَكَانُوا أَصْبَرَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا لَبَّيْكَ يَا لَبَّيْكَ ، فَوَاللهِ مَا شَبَّهْتُ عَطْفَهُمْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَّا كَعَطْفِ بَقَرٍ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا ، قَالَ : فَتَقَدَّمُوا فَاقْتَتَلُوا قِتَالًا شَدِيدًا ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - تَنَاوَلَ قَبْضَةً مِنْ حَصْبَاءَ ، فَرَمَى بِهَا وُجُوهَ الْقَوْمِ ، وَقَالَ : شَاهَتِ الْوُجُوهُ ، قَالَ : فَوَاللهِ مَا زِلْتُ أَرَى حَدَّهُمْ كَلِيلًا ، وَأَمْرَهُمْ مُدْبِرًا حَتَّى هَزَمَهُمُ اللهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the Battle of Hunayn. Then, when the Muslims fell back (after the initial attack), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was riding his mule that Farwah bin Nufathah al-Judhami had given him as a gift, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was urging it towards the army of the disbelievers, while I was holding its reins for fear that it might go too fast, and Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) was holding the stirrup of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call out to the people of the tree of Bay'at al-Ridwan (the Companions of the Samurah tree)." So I called out at the top of my voice: "O Companions of the Samurah!" And the Ansar were called in this way: "O company of the Ansar!" Then this call was confined to (the Ansar tribe of) Banu al-Harith bin al-Khazraj, who were the most steadfast in battle. They answered: "Here we are, here we are!" By Allah, their turning back towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was exactly like a cow rushing eagerly back to its young. They advanced and a fierce battle took place. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this scene (of the battlefield), he took a handful of pebbles, threw it towards the faces of those people and said: "May these faces be disfigured." Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: By Allah, after that I saw their strength continue to break and their affair continue to fall back until Allah Almighty inflicted defeat upon them.
