Jabir bin Abdullah reported,

When we entered the valley of Hunayn, he said, we descended into one of the valleys of Tihamah, a deep, sloping ravine. We were going down into it gradually. In the dim light of dawn, the enemy had concealed themselves for us in its passes, bends, and narrow defiles. They had gathered themselves, made their preparations, and lay in wait. By Allah, while we were descending, nothing alarmed us until the battalions charged at us as one man. The people fled in retreat, continuing on without anyone turning back to help another.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ withdrew to the right and called out, "Come to me, people. Come to me. I am the Messenger of Allah. I am Muhammad bin Abdullah."But there was no response. The camels were piling onto one another, and the people kept moving away. Yet a small group of the Muhajirun, the Ansar, and his own household remained with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. From the Muhajirun, Abu Bakr and Umar stood firm with him, and from his household, Ali bin Abu Talib, Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib and his son, Fadl bin Abbas, Abu Sufyan bin Harith, Rabia bin Harith, Ayman bin Ubayd who was the son of Umm Ayman, and Usama bin Zayd.Then a man from Hawazin came forward on a red camel of his, holding a black banner at the head of a long spear before the people, with Hawazin behind him. Whenever he overtook someone, he would thrust at him with his spear, and when the people got beyond his reach, he would raise his spear for those behind him to follow.Ibn Ishaq said, Asim bin Umar bin Qatada related to me from Abdul-Rahman bin Jabir, from his father Jabir bin Abdullah, who said, While that man from Hawazin, the bearer of the banner, was on his camel doing what he was doing, Ali bin Abu Talib and a man from the Ansar made for him, intending to take him down. Ali came at him from behind and struck the camel's hocks, and it collapsed onto its hindquarters. The Ansari leapt at the man and struck him a blow that severed his foot together with half his shin, and he toppled from his saddle. Then the people fought it out. By Allah, by the time those who had fled returned from their rout, they found the captives already bound and held before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

عن جابر بن عبد الله قال

لما استقبلنا وادي حنين قال: انحدرنا في واد من أودية تهامة أجوف حطوط، إنما ننحدرفيه انحدارا، قال: وفي عماية الصبح وقد كان القوم كمنوا لنا في شعابه و أحنائه ومضايقه، وقد أجمعوا وتهيئوا وأعدوا، قال: فوالله ما راعنا ونحن منحطون إلا الكتائب قد شدت علينا شدة رجل واحد، وانهزم الناس راجعين، فاستمروا لا يلوي أحد على أحد. وانحاز رسول الله ﷺ ذات اليمين، ثم قال: إلي أيها الناس، هلموا إلي، أنا رسول الله، أنامحمد بن عبد الله قال: فلا شيء، احتملت الإبل بعضها بعضا، فانطلق الناس، إلا أن مع رسول الله ﷺ رهطا من المهاجرين والأنصار وأهل بيته غير كثير ثبت معه من المهاجرين أبو بكر وعمر، ومن أهل بيته علي بن أبي طالب والعباس بن عبد المطلب، وابنه، والفضل بن العباس، وأبو سفيان بن الحارث وربيعة بن الحارث، وأيمن بن عبيد وهو ابن أم أيمن، وأسامة بن زيد. قال: ورجل من هوازن على جمل له أحمر، في يده راية له سوداء في رأس رمح طويل له أمام الناس، وهوازن خلفه، فإذا أدرك طعن برمحه، وإذا فاته الناس رفع رمحه لمن وراءه فاتبعوه. قال ابن إسحاق: وحدثني عاصم بن عمر بن قتادة، عن عبد الرحمن بن جابر، عن أبيه جابر بن عبد الله، قال: بينا ذلك الرجل من هوازن صاحب الراية على جمله ذلك يصنع ما يصنع، إذ هوى له علي بن أبي طالب ورجل من الأنصار يريدانه، قال: فيأتيه علي من خلفه، فضرب عرقوبي الجمل، فوقع على عجزه، ووثب الأنصاري على الرجل، فضربه ضربة أطن قدمه بنصف ساقه فانجعف عن رحله واجتلدالناس، فوالله ما رجعت راجعة الناس من هزيمتهم حتى وجدوا إلا اسرى مكتفين عند رسول الله ﷺ.
