Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that we reached Makkah Mukarramah with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), performed the circumambulation (tawaf) of the House of Allah, prayed behind Maqam Ibrahim, and performed the sa’i between Safa and Marwah. During this time, in order to protect the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the harm of the polytheists, we kept him in our protection. It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Ahzab, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against the armies of the polytheists, saying: “O Allah, the One Who sent down the Book! The One Who quickly takes account! The One Who defeats the armies! Defeat them and shake them.” The narrator says that I saw a mark of a wound on the arm of Hazrat Ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him), so I asked, “What is this?” He replied, “I received this during the Battle of Hunayn.” I asked him, “Did you participate in the Battle of Hunayn with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?” He replied, “Yes! In fact, I participated in the earlier battles as well.”
