حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قِيلَ لِلْبَرَاءِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، أَوَلَّيْتُمْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَقَالَ أَمَّا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلاَ، كَانُوا رُمَاةً فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لاَ كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ ‏"‏‏.‏

Abu Ishaq said: “Al-Bara was asked while I was listening, ‘Did you flee with the Prophet on the day of Hunayn?’ He replied, ‘As for the Prophet, no. They were archers.’ The Prophet was saying: ‘I am the Prophet—there is no lie in it. I am the son of Abd al-Muttalib.’”

  • This wording says simply that the opposing force were archers; it does not repeat the preceding report about the hasty group rushing off.
