Hazrat Hakam bin Utaybah narrates that when, on the day of the Battle of Hunayn, many people fled from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "I am not a false prophet; I am the son of Abdul Muttalib." The narrator says: Then only four men remained with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Three men were from Banu Hashim and one man was from others. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Abi Talib and Hazrat Abbas were in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Hazrat Abu Sufyan was holding the reins of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) mule. And Ibn Mas’ud was on the left side of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The narrator says: Any disbeliever who advanced towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was killed. The polytheists lay slain around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
