It is narrated from Hazrat Abdur Rahman al-Fahri. He says: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the Battle of Hunayn. We marched on an extremely hot day, then we camped under the shade of trees. When the sun had declined, I put on my battle gear and mounted my horse and proceeded towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He was in his tent. I went and said: Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah, and the mercy of Allah. Departure! Is it time to depart? He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Yes. Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: O Bilal! So he too got up, dusting off the twigs of a tree whose shade was like the shade of a bird. And he came and said: May I be sacrificed for you. I am present. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Saddle my horse. So Hazrat Bilal brought out a saddle whose sides were covered with grass. The narrator says: Then Hazrat Bilal saddled the horse. 2. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also mounted, and we mounted as well, and we lined up before him day and night, and the horsemen of the Muslims and the disbelievers clashed with each other. As Allah Almighty says... the Muslims turned their backs and fled. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called out: "O servants of Allah! I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger (present)." Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O group of Muhajireen! I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger (present)." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) dismounted his horse and took a handful of dust... The companion who was closer to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) than me told me that he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) threw this dust towards their faces and said: "May the faces be disfigured." The narrator says: Thus Allah Almighty defeated the polytheists. 3. Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Ata says: The sons of the opponents narrated to me from the authority of their fathers that none of us was saved except that his eyes and mouth were filled with dust, and we heard a sound between the sky and the earth like the sound of a bell, as if iron was being struck on an iron plate.
