Once Musa bin Anas while describing the battle of Yamama, said, "Anas bin Malik went to Thabit bin
Qais, who had lifted his clothes from his thighs and was applying Hunut to his body. Anas asked, 'O
Uncle! What is holding you back (from the battle)?' He replied, 'O my nephew! I am coming just
now,' and went on perfuming himself with Hunut, then he came and sat (in the row). Anas then
mentioned that the people fled from the battle-field. On that Thabit said, 'Clear the way for me to fight
the enemy. We would never do so (i.e. flee) in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). How bad the habits
you have acquired from your enemies!"
