Sahih al-Bukhari 2874 (Book 56, Hadith 90) #2750
Proclaiming Identity in Battle

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was riding his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding its reins, while the people of the Tribe of Hawazin attacked them with arrows. The Prophet (ﷺ) proclaimed his identity as a prophet and son of 'Abdul Muttalib.

Narrated Al-Bara: that a man asked him".O Abu ''Umara! Did you flee on the day (of the battle) of Hunain?" He replied, "No, by Allah, the Prophet did not flee but the hasty people fled and the people of the Tribe of Hawazin attacked them with arrows, while the Prophet was riding his white mule and Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith was holding its reins, and the Prophet was saying, 'I am the Prophet in truth, I am the son of 'Abdul Muttalib'. "
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عُمَارَةَ وَلَّيْتُمْ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ قَالَ لاَ، وَاللَّهِ مَا وَلَّى النَّبِيُّ وَلَكِنْ وَلَّى سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ، فَلَقِيَهُمْ هَوَازِنُ بِالنَّبْلِ وَالنَّبِيُّ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا، وَالنَّبِيُّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لاَ كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ‏"‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a battle between the people of Hawazin and the followers of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. During this battle, Abu Umara asked if they had fled from it, to which Al-Bara replied that they did not flee but were attacked by arrows from the Hawazin tribe. In response to this attack, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ proclaimed his identity as a prophet and son of 'Abdul Muttalib while riding on his white mule with Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith holding its reins. This hadith teaches us that we should always be proud to proclaim our identity even in difficult times or situations when we are being attacked or challenged by others. We should also remain steadfast in our faith no matter what happens around us and never give up hope or faith in Allah SWT's mercy and justice.
