A man asked Al-Bara "O Abu '`Umara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al-Bara
replied while I was listening, "As for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he did not flee on that day. Abu Sufyan bin Al-
Harith was holding the reins of his mule and when the pagans attacked him, he dismounted and started
saying, 'I am the Prophet, and there is no lie about it; I am the son of `Abdul Muttalib.' On that day
nobody was seen braver than the Prophet.

I went out of Medina towards Al-Ghaba. When I reached the mountain path of Al-Ghaba, a slave of
`Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf met me. I said to him, "Woe to you! What brought you here?" He replied,
"The she-camels of the Prophet (ﷺ) have been taken away." I said, "Who took them?" He said, "Ghatafan
and Fazara." So, I sent three cries, "O Sabaha-h ! O Sabahah !" so loudly that made the people in
between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains hear me. Then I rushed till I met them after they had taken
the camels away. I started throwing arrows at them saying, "I am the son of Al-Akwa`"; and today
perish the mean people!" So, I saved the she-camels from them before they (i.e. the robbers) could
drink water. When I returned driving the camels, the Prophet (ﷺ) met me, I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Those
people are thirsty and I have prevented them from drinking water, so send some people to chase
them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O son of Al-Akwa`, you have gained power (over your enemy), so forgive
(them). (Besides) those people are now being entertained by their folk."

When the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Sa`d's judgment, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent for Sa`d
who was near to him. Sa`d came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to the
Ansar), "Stand up for your leader." Then Sa`d came and sat beside Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who said to him.
"These people are ready to accept your judgment." Sa`d said, "I give the judgment that their warriors
should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners." The Prophet (ﷺ) then
remarked, "O Sa`d! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King
Allah."
