Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashar narrated to us, and the wording is that of Ibn al-Muthanna. They said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, and Shu'bah narrated to us from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard al-Bara': Sahih Muslim 1776c.
The Shaykh : In this hadith, there is excellence in the answer. When he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 4317, he did not say: Yes, we fled. He said: But the Messenger of Allah did not flee. And if the Messenger of Allah did not flee, what is the implication?
That others may have fled, and this is well known. But this is part of the excellence of the performance in style; he did not attribute the fleeing to them, just as in the first context he denied fleeing absolutely, but the intended meaning is some of the army who remained with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who were about one hundred men.
who said: I heard from Bara' who was asked by a man from the Qais tribe: Did you run away from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the Day of Hunain? Bara' said: But the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not run away. On that day Banu Hawzzin took part in the battle as archers (on the side of the disbelievers). When we attacked them, they retreated and we fell upon the booty; (they rallied) and advanced towards us with arrows. (At that time) I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) riding on his white mule and Abu Sufyan b. al-Harith was holding its bridle. He (the Messenger of Allah was saying: I am the Prophet. This is no untruth. I am a descendant of 'Abd al-Muttalib.
وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَيْسٍ، أَفَرَرْتُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ؟ فَقَالَ الْبَرَاءُ : وَلَكِنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَفِرَّ، وَكَانَتْ هَوَازِنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ رُمَاةً، وَإِنَّا لَمَّا حَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمِ انْكَشَفُوا، فَأَكْبَبْنَا عَلَى الْغَنَائِمِ، فَاسْتَقْبَلُونَا بِالسِّهَامِ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، وَإِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ، أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْThe Shaykh : In this hadith, there is excellence in the answer. When he said:
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.
