Hazrat Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father that the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sent an army towards Mu'tah and appointed Hazrat Usama bin Zaid as their commander. Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Umar were also in this army... The narrator says: Some people objected to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointing Hazrat Usama as the commander over the army. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and delivered a sermon to the people and said: "Indeed, some of you are objecting to my appointing Usama as commander. These people object to Usama's appointment just as they previously objected to his father's appointment as commander. By Allah! Surely, he was worthy of being appointed commander and was the most beloved to me among the people. And his son, after him, is the most beloved to me among the people. I hope that he will be among the righteous people among you. You should intend good for him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha’bi that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) received the news of the martyrdom of Hazrat Ja’far bin Abi Talib, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left Hazrat Ja’far’s wife, Asma bint Umais, alone until she had wept and her grief was lessened. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Hazrat Asma and offered her condolences, and he called for the sons of Hazrat Ja’far and prayed for them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for Hazrat Abdullah bin Ja’far that there be blessing in his trade. Thus, whenever Abdullah bought anything, he would profit from it. Then Hazrat Asma said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him),“O Messenger of Allah! These people think that we are not among the Muhajireen (emigrants).”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“The people are wrong. You have migrated twice: once you migrated to the Negus (in Abyssinia), and once you migrated to me.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that I was present at the place of Mu'tah. When we did not find Hazrat Ja'far bin Abi Talib among the living, we began to search for him among the slain. Thus, we found him in such a state that he had about fifty wounds from swords and spears. And we found all these wounds on the front part of Hazrat Ja'far's body.

Hazrat Abu Ishaq narrates that a man said to Hazrat Bara: "O Abu Amarah! Did you people turn your backs on the day of Hunain?" Hazrat Bara said: "I testify about the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he did not turn his back. But some people, in haste and empty-handed, advanced towards the tribe of Hawazin, even though the Hawazin were a nation of archers. So they showered that (empty-handed) group with arrows from their swift-shooting bows, and it seemed as if a whole collection of arrows was coming. The narrator says: So the people scattered, and at that time the people of Hawazin advanced towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while Abu Sufyan was driving the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) mule. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted and called for help, and he was saying: 'I am not a false prophet. I am the son of Abdul Muttalib. O Allah! Send down Your help.' The narrator says: By God! When the battle was at its fiercest, we would take cover behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for our protection. And certainly, at that time, the brave one was the person who stood with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara that, by God, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not turn his back on the day of the Battle of Hunain. The narrator says: Hazrat Abbas and Abu Sufyan were holding the reins of the mule of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying, "I am not a false prophet; I am the son of Abdul Muttalib."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas that on the day of Hunain, the supplication of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was: "O Allah! If You will, then after today You will not be worshipped."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas that on the day of Hunayn, the tribes of Hawazin and Ghatafan gathered a very large number against the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was also accompanied that day by ten thousand or even more people. The narrator says: The Tulaqa (those who became Muslim at the conquest of Makkah) were also with him (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator says: The enemy had brought their wealth, livestock, wives, and children with them and had left them behind. So when the two groups confronted each other, some people fled. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was riding a white mule that day. The narrator says: He (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted and said: "I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger." The narrator says: On that day, he (peace and blessings be upon him) called out this statement twice and did not mix any other words with it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to his right and called out, "O group of Ansar!" The Ansar replied, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We are present, we are with you." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to his left and called out, "O group of Ansar!" The Ansar replied, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We are present, we are with you." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted to the ground and (again) confronted the enemy, so the enemy was defeated and the Muslims obtained many spoils. Thus, he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave these spoils to the Tulaqa and distributed them among them. (Upon this) the Ansar said, "In times of hardship, we are called upon, and the spoils are distributed to others besides us." This matter reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered all the Ansar and sat with them in a tent and said: "O group of Ansar! What is this that has reached me from you?" The Ansar Companions remained silent. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O group of Ansar! If people walk on a wide and clear path and the Ansar walk in a mountain pass, I will choose the pass of the Ansar (to walk in)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Are you not pleased that other people take the world (its goods) and you take Allah's Messenger and bring him to your homes?" The Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We are pleased, we are pleased." Ibn Awn says that Hisham bin Zaid says: I asked Hazrat Anas, "Were you present at that time?" He replied, "Where else would I have been at that time?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas that Hazrat Talha came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Hunain and began to make him laugh and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Did you not see Umm Sulaym, she has a knife in her hand." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Umm Sulaym, "O Umm Sulaym! What do you intend to do with this knife?" Umm Sulaym replied, "My intention is that if any enemy comes near me, I will stab him with this knife."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas that the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said on the day of the Battle of Hunain: "Whoever kills someone, then the belongings of the slain will go to the killer." Accordingly, Hazrat Abu Talha killed twenty men that day and obtained their belongings.

It is narrated from Hazrat Talha bin Musarrif that on the day of Hunain, when the Muslims were defeated, they were called out: "O people of Surah Al-Baqarah!" The narrator says: Then the companions returned, and the sound of their weeping could be heard.
