He replied, “No, by Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not retreat. Rather, we encountered a band of archers—the host of Hawāzin—whose arrows hardly ever missed. They showered us with volleys that scarcely fell wide of the mark, and they advanced toward the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was mounted on his white mule.” (2)
