Hadith 4131
Al-Bara' was asked while I was listening, "Did you flee (before the enemy) along with the Prophet (ﷺ) on
the day of (the battle of) Hunain?" He replied, "As for the Prophet, he did not (flee). The enemy were
good archers and the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying, "I am the Prophet (ﷺ) undoubtedly; I am the son of `Abdul
Muttalib."

I heard Al-Bara' narrating when a man came and said to him, "O Abu '`Umara! Did you flee on the
day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al-Bara' replied, "I testify that the Prophet (ﷺ) did not flee, but the hasty
people hurried away and the people of Hawazin threw arrows at them. At that time, Abu Sufyan bin
Al-Harith was holding the white mule of the Prophet (ﷺ) by the head, and the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying, "I am
the Prophet (ﷺ) undoubtedly: I am the son of `Abdul-Muttalib." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 346

That he heard Al-Bara narrating when a man from Qais (tribe) asked him "Did you flee leaving
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" Al-Bara' replied, "But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not
flee. The people of Hawazin were good archers, and when we attacked them, they fled. But rushing
towards the booty, we were confronted by the arrows (of the enemy). I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) riding his
white mule while Abu Sufyan was holding its reins, and the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying "I am the Prophet (ﷺ)
undoubtedly." (Israil and Zuhair said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) dismounted from his Mule.") Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 348
