The Hawazin came on the day of Hunayn with their children, women, camels, and livestock. They arranged them in rows to make their forces appear larger against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When the two sides met, the Muslims turned and fled, just as Allah described.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called out, "Servants of Allah, I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger. Company of the Ansar, I am the servant of Allah and His Messenger." Then Allah routed the polytheists.Affan said, "They did not strike with a sword nor thrust with a spear."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that day, "Whoever kills a disbeliever may take his belongings." So Abu Talha killed twenty men that day and took their belongings.Abu Qatada said, "Messenger of Allah, I struck a man on the base of his shoulder while he was wearing a coat of mail, but I was pushed away from him. See who took it."A man stood up and said, "I took it. Satisfy him regarding it and give it to me."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never refused anything he was asked, but would either grant it or remain silent. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent.Umar said, "No, by Allah, Allah will not grant it to one of His lions who fought for Him only for him to hand it over to you."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed and said, "Umar has spoken the truth."
أن هوازن جاءت يوم حنين بالصبيان والنساء والإبل والنعم، فجعلوهم صفوفا يكثرون على رسول الله ﷺ، فلما التقوا ولى المسلمون مدبرين، كما قال الله عز وجل. فقال رسول الله ﷺ: يا عباد الله، أنا عبد الله ورسوله، يا معشر الأنصار، أنا عبد الله ورسوله فهزم الله المشركين. قال عفان: ولم يضربوا بسيف، ولم يطعنوا برمح، وقال رسول الله ﷺ يومئذ: من قتل كافرا فله سلبه فقتل أبو طلحة يومئذ عشرين رجلا وأخذ أسلابهم. قال: وقال أبو قتادة: يا رسول الله! ضربت رجلا على حبل العاتق وعليه درع، فأجهضت عنه، فانظر من أخذها، فقام رجل، فقال: أنا أخذتها، فأرضه منها، وأعطنيها، قال: وكان رسول الله ﷺ لا يسأل شيئا إلا أعطاه، أو سكت، فسكت رسول الله ﷺ، فقال عمر: لا والله لا يفيئها الله على أسد من أسده، ويعطيكها، فضحك رسول الله ﷺ وقال: صدق عمر.
Ahmad (12977, 13975) and Ibn Hibban (4838) narrated it through various routes from Hammad bin Salama, who said, Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abu Talha informed us, from Anas, and he related it.Abu Dawud (1809) narrated it through the route of Hammad, in abridged form, without mentioning the story of Abu Qatada.
