It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: This is about one of the expeditions sent by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I myself was in it. People started to flee, and I was among those who ran away. Then we said: What should we do now? We have fled from battle and returned with the wrath of Allah. Then we said: Now let us enter Madinah and spend the night inside. But then it occurred to us that we should present ourselves before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). If repentance is accepted, then fine; otherwise, we will leave. So, before the Fajr prayer, we reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he came out, he asked: Who are these people? We said: It is us, those who have fled from battle and come back. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, no, rather you are those who have returned towards fighting, and I am your helper, and I am the refuge and helper of all Muslims. So we drew near to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and kissed his hand.
