It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Jabir, who reports from his father, Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: When we reached the valley of Hunayn, we passed through a valley of Tihamah which was quite wide and broad, sloping from high ground to low. We were descending from above to below in it; it was the time of early dawn. The enemy was hiding in various places and narrow spots in the passes of the valley’s mountains, gathered and fully prepared to confront us. By Allah! As we were descending into the valley, their troops suddenly attacked us. Our people, startled by this sudden assault, fled in defeat. No one was looking towards anyone else. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also turned to the right side of the path. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O people! Come to me, come to me! I am the Messenger of Allah, I am Muhammad bin Abdullah.”For a moment, no one responded. The camels, enraged, were running over each other, and people were moving along. Only a few Muhajirun, Ansar, and some members of the Ahl al-Bayt remained with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Among those who stayed with you were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), and from the Ahl al-Bayt: Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him), his son Sayyiduna Fadl bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Rabi’ah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyidah Umm Ayman’s (may Allah be pleased with her) son Sayyiduna Ayman bin Ubaid, and Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him). A man from Banu Hawazin, who was riding a red camel and waving a black flag on the tip of a long spear, was at the front of his tribe, and the rest of Banu Hawazin were following him. Whenever he encountered a Muslim on the way, he would strike him with his spear, and when people passed by, he would raise his flag to guide those behind him, and the people would follow him.
