I am the Prophet, I do not lie
Tirmidhi's Shama'il 244 — I am the Prophet, I do not lie
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: أَفَرَرْتُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا وَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَكِنْ وَلَّى سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ تَلَقَّتْهُمْ هَوَازِنُ بِالنَّبْلِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ، أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ»
Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man asked him: O Abu ‘Amarah! Did you people run away leaving the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (on the day of Hunayn)? He replied: No, by Allah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not retreat; rather, some hasty people turned away because of the archery of the tribe of Hawazin, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his mule, whose reins were held by Abu Sufyan bin al-Harith bin ‘Abd al-Muttalib. At that time, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was proclaiming loudly: “I am the Prophet of Allah, there is no lie in this. I am the son of ‘Abd al-Muttalib.”
