Barā’ bin ‘Āzib (may Allah be pleased with both of them) says that a man asked us: “Abū ‘Ammārah! 1 Did you people flee from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?” He said: “No, by Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not turn his back, rather the hasty people turned their backs. The tribe of Hawāzin attacked them with arrows. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was mounted on his mule, Abū Sufyān bin Hārith bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib was holding the mule’s rein, 2 and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was saying: ‘I am a Prophet, this is no lie. I am the son of ‘Abdul-Muttalib.’ 3” © Imām Tirmidhī says:
