Musnad Ahmad Hadith 12977

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people of Banu Hawazin brought children, women, camels, and goats with them in the Battle of Hunayn. They made all of them stand in different rows to show their large numbers. When the battle started, the Muslims turned their backs and fled, as Allah Almighty has mentioned. At this, the Prophet (ﷺ) called out to the Muslims, "O servants of Allah! I am the servant and Messenger of Allah (here). O group of Ansar! I am the servant and Messenger of Allah (here)." After that, Allah granted victory to the Muslims and defeat to the disbelievers. The Prophet (ﷺ) announced that day that whoever kills a disbeliever, all his belongings will go to the one who killed him. Accordingly, Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) killed twenty disbelievers that day and took their belongings. Similarly, Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! I struck a man on the rope of his shoulder; he was wearing armor. I managed to overpower him with great difficulty and saved my life. Please find out who has taken his belongings?" A man stood up and said, "I have taken those belongings, O Messenger of Allah! Please make him pleased with me on my behalf and give those belongings to me." The blessed habit of the Prophet (ﷺ) was that if someone asked for something, he would give it or remain silent. On this occasion, the Prophet (ﷺ) remained silent, but Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "By Allah! It cannot happen that Allah gives the spoils of war to one of His lions and the Prophet (ﷺ) gives them to you." The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled and said, "Umar is telling the truth." In the Battle of Hunayn itself, Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) had a dagger with her. Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) asked her, "What is this with you?" She said, "I have kept this with me so that if any polytheist comes near me, I will rip open his belly with it." Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the court of the Prophet (ﷺ), "O Messenger of Allah! Did you hear what Umm Sulaym said?" Then she said, "O Messenger of Allah! Those people who ran away leaving you, have them killed." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Umm Sulaym! Allah Himself has sufficed for us and dealt well with us."
