@MrOlai remind me of pot calling kettle black. Your own Ahlu sunnah sect ordain sex slavery of female captives. According to your own tradition, Muhammad had concubines in addition to his numerous wives. Muhammad married and cohabited with a 9 year old according to your tradition. I can post the Hadith if you want me.
The problem with you traditional Muslims is you don't know your religion, that is why you are quick to judge others.

Empiree:
Mrolai, I don't think you should drag it to that level. Just stick to his subject matter. I hate to involve in a subject where both sects are actually guilty of the same crime. I told you before that sunni (minority) also guilty of "misyar" identical to muta marriage but it's basically practiced in Arabian peninsula.
Unfortunately I can't defend baqir if you continue to bring this up because he started this unnecessary criticisms of the first 3 imams. I could engage him and trash everything in his op and subsequent posts but ain't get his time.

Assalam alaykum Mr Olai, please exercise patience and don't allow Shia actions and utterances get to you. There is always the time and place to defend the Sunnah to the best of our ability. And please for Allah's sake, delete offensive posts. Jazakumullahu khayran

MrOlai:


Empire.e. You cannot be here and there at the same time. It's either you are in support of the companions(R.A) Albaqir is defaming or you are against them. Stand firm on what you believe!

Empiree:
I dont think you get it. I have always stood firm supporting companions(RA). But what you brought up is not in line with that. I have confronted baqir in the past and called him misguided for calling the companions usurpers.
But what you brought up is irrelevant to the borne of contention. Shia are basically muslims. Their hate for the companions does not make any less muslims. It would be wrong to castigate all of them. When it comes to some of their practices that are not islamic or wild doctrines, I simply against it. I can not defend Sunni for what you posted earlier which is what user.mane commented on. I think you should understand better than that. When it comes to this thread, I can never support albaqir. He knows that long ago. It is not about being here and there. Shia are muslims with some twisted ideology that dont impress me.
On this thread, op is very wrong. I have said that it is mere hatred for the companions and it will never end until the return or Imam Mahdi or Isa Ibn Maryam(AS).

AlBaqir:

# Unnecessary thread indeed!
# @underline Allahu Akbar. You never stop with your amusing comments. You ain't get his (Albaqir) time yet from the very first page till this, your comments filled up the spaces. Obviously you have nothing, absolutely nothing in your arsenal to rescue your darling Khalifah . Empiree pls stop making comment....

MrOlai:


Wa'alaykum Salam my Brother. This person (Albaqir) is very cunning. Imagine the deceptive title of the thread! When Maclatunji was still the moderator here, this same person (Albaqir) opened similar thread and he titled it "Cold Truth About Umar". He said all sorts of evils about Umar(R.A). Maclatunji(May Allah(SWT) continue to guide him) removed the hate thread in less than 24 hours.

Sometimes, we shouldn't just keep quiet, at least, for the sake of innocent minds who are just trying to learn Islam, so that they won't be misled by these agents of shaytan! Imagine his statement on you here: "You just jump like "mountain goat" to attack.! Honestly, this got me cracking...

HAkorehdeh:

AlBaqir must have seen me jumping like a mountain goat before making such comment, it doesn't bother me at all.
Indeed we must not keep quiet when people with an agenda wants to tarnish the honor of the Prophet's companions, especially his closest and trusted ones such as Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman (RA), but we must defend their honor by applying the Sunnah. If the Prophet (SAW) and ahl-l-bayt never spoke ill of these companions one wonders who these Shia are following with this their deep rooted hatred...
May Allah guide us right ameen

AlBaqir:

Have I ever sought your support on any of my thread? Yes when MrOlai made erratic comment and posts yet you hide your head. Can you even help yourself and your Sufi ideology? . I have NEVER seen any comment of yours with explicit quotation of a single hadith with full text and reference. And you want to support?

Empiree:
When it comes to this thread, I can never support albaqir. He knows that long ago.

sino:
Yet another shallow argument from our shia brother AlBaqir, perhaps you do not know the implications of these your obsessions with finding fault with the 3 Caliphs before Ali (RA). And selectively picking a quranic verse or hadith to support your agenda is just plain deceitful, speaks volume of your person…Allah says:

“Those of you who turned back on the day when the two hosts met it was Satan who caused them to backslide because of some (sins) they had earned. But, Allah indeed has forgiven them. Surely, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.” [Surah Aal ‘Imran 3:155].

Can we all see where Allah (SWT) says he had forgiven those who turned back in the battle of Uhud, as Muslims, when Allah (SWT) says He had forgiven these people, then we do not have the authority to speak ill of these people, no matter what, doing so means we know better than Allah (SWT), and that is automatic doom for such a person. When Allah says He forgives, who the hell is AlBaqir to blame these companions?!

You might claim this is an academic discuss, but that is just a smokescreen, your agenda is quite known.

Let us accept for a moment, that all what you are trying to tell us about these caliphs are true, that they kept fleeing from battle. Then how do you explain these companions (especially Umar) being caliphs before Ali (RA)?! Ali (RA) who is suppose to be the rightful heir, the brave and powerful, the one who loves Allah (SWT) and the Prophet (SAW), the one who is the custodian of knowledge, that he could not fight for his right? Could not fight for Allah’s cause in disgracing these companions who kept fleeing from battle and in your parochial understanding, who usurped the caliphate from him? In what light does these aforementioned portrays Ali (RA)? #Think!

And even after Ali (RA) became the caliph, he did not reverse anything his predecessors did, nor did he make any remarks against their actions, but was full of praise and seeking blessings on them all. for example:

It was narrated that Muhammad Bin Aqeel bin Abu Talib said:[b] Ali made a Sermon to us and he said: O people, Who was the bravest amongst the people? We said: You O Ameer al Mumineen, He(Ali) said: Rather, it is Abu Bakr as- Siddeeq, because on the day of Badr, we built the hut for the Messenger of Allah(saw) then we said: “Who will stand with him so that none of the polytheists will get close to him?” No one stood with him except Abu Bakr, who stood with his sword unsheathed, guarding the Prophet; every time anyone got close to him, Abu Bakr struck him with his sword. I saw the Messenger of Allah(saw), when Quraysh caught hold of him at the Ka’bah and started shaking him and saying: “You are the one who made the gods into one God.” By Allah, no one got close to him except Abu Bakr and at that time Abu Bakr had two braids. He started poking this one and pushing that one, saying: ‘Woe to you! Would you kill a man because he says my Lord is Allah(swt) when he has brought you proof from your Lord?” One of Abu Bakr’s braids was cut off, and ‘Ali said to his companions: I adjure you by Allah, which of the two men was better, the believer of the family of Pharaoh or Abu Bakr?’ The people kept quiet, then ‘Ali said: ‘By Allah, a day in the life of Abu Bakr is better than the believer of the family of Pharaoh; that man conceded his faith, and Allah praised him, but Abu Bakr offered his life and his blood for the sake of Allah.[/b](Al Mustadrak (3/67) He said SAHIH on the condition of Muslim and Imam al Thahabi Agreed with him.) [Ali bin Abi Talib, by Ali Muhammad Sallabi, vol 1, page 170]

Ibn Abbas said: Ali ibn Abi Talib said to me: I do not know of any of the Muhajireen who did not migrate in secret, except Umar ibn al-Khattab. When he decided to migrate, he put on his sword, put his bow over his shoulder, picked up his arrows and carried his stick by his side. He went out to the Ka’bah, where a number of Quraysh were gathered in its courtyard, and he circumambulated the House seven times, at a leisurely pace. Then he went to the circles of people, one by one, and said to them, May your faces become ugly! Allah will only rub these noses in the dust. Whoever wants his mother to be bereft of him and his children to become orphan or his wife to become a widow, let him meet me behind this valley. Ali said: No one followed him except a few of those who were weak and oppressed. He taught them and told them about Islam, then he went on his way. [Saheeh at-Tawtheeq fee seerat al-Farooq, page 30]

Where did you leave these narrations o AlBaqir? Why don’t you emulate Ali (RA)? Why do you always go against the sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) and the ahl-l-bayt? Are you sure you love the Prophet (SAW) and the ahl-l-bayt?!

Other narrations that speaks of the bravery of Umar and his status in Islam are plentiful, examples are as follows:

Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (ra) said: “We have been powerful since the time ‘Umar accepted Islam.” [Sahih Bukhari (3684) (3863)]

Abdullah ibn Masood said: We felt a sense of pride when Umar became Muslim, for we could not circumambulate the House(Kaabah) and pray, until Umar became Muslim. When he became Muslim, he fought them until they left us alone. Then we prayed and circumambulated the Kabah.(Fadail Sahabah, 1/344. Isnad Hasan]

Ibn Masood said: Umar’s becoming Muslim was a victory, his migration was help, and his caliphate was a mercy. We could not pray or circumambulate the House (Kabah) until Umar became Muslim. When he became Muslim, he fought them until they left us alone and let us pray.(Ash Shaykhain Abu Bakr wa Umar, page 141)

Suhayb ibn Sinan said: When Umar ibn al-Khattab became Muslim, Islam came out into the open and the call to Islam was made in public. We sat around the Kabah in circles, and we circumambulated the house and settled our scores with those who had persecuted us. We started to hit back.(At-Tabaqat al Kubra, 3/269. Sifat as-Safwah 1/274).

These are but few, there are many more, all scattered in books of hadith and seerah. We do not believe these companions were infallible, they might have committed sins, but we have it on record that Allah (SWT) had forgiven them and granted them His mercy, Allah (SWT) says:

“And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajiroon (the Emigrants from Makkah) and the Ansar (the citizens of Al-Madeenah who helped the Muhajiroon) and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.” [9:100]

“Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers when they gave their pledge to you (O Muhammad) under the tree. He knew what was in their hearts and He sent down calmness and tranquility upon them…” [48:18]

Again Allah (SWT) taught us our responsibilities towards the forerunners of Islam, Allah (SWT) says:

“And those who come after them say: ‘Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed.'” [59:10]

Once you agree these companions of the Prophet (SAW) died as Muslims, and then you still make snide remarks about them, you have gone against the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet (SAW).

So a quick question AlBaqir? DID UMAR (RA) NOT DIE A MUSLIM?!

AlBaqir:
@ Sino, I forgot to add to my previous reply to your comment.

# As per this hadith you quoted:

{It was narrated that Muhammad Bin Aqeel bin Abu Talib said: Ali made a Sermon to us and he said: O people, Who was the bravest amongst the people? We said: You O Ameer al Mumineen, He(Ali) said: Rather, it is Abu Bakr as- Siddeeq, because on the day of Badr, we built the hut for the Messenger of Allah(saw) then we said: “Who will stand with him so that none of the polytheists will get close to him?” No one stood with him except Abu Bakr, who stood with his sword unsheathed, guarding the Prophet; every time anyone got close to him, Abu Bakr struck him with his sword.

He started poking this one and pushing that one, saying: ‘Woe to you! Would you kill a man because he says my Lord is Allah(swt) when he has brought you proof from your Lord?” One of Abu Bakr’s braids was cut off, and ‘Ali said to his companions: I adjure you by Allah, which of the two men was better, the believer of the family of Pharaoh or Abu Bakr?’ The people kept quiet, then ‘Ali said: ‘By Allah, a day in the life of Abu Bakr is better than the believer of the family of Pharaoh; that man conceded his faith, and Allah praised him, but Abu Bakr offered his life and his blood for the sake of Allah.(Al Mustadrak (3/67) He said SAHIH on the condition of Muslim and Imam al Thahabi Agreed with him.) [Ali bin Abi Talib, by Ali Muhammad Sallabi, vol 1, page 170]}

I have tried my utmost best to locate it. Kindly post its Arabic text, and its full reference for its verification. Thanks man.

AlBaqir:

Umar ibn al-Khattab himself explained the purpose of this bay'ah:

Imam Muslim records:

Qutaibah Ibn Sa'id - Layth b. Sa'd and Muhammad b. Romh - AlLayth - Abi Zubair - Jabir who said:

We were one thousand and four hundred on the Day of Hudaybiyah. We paid allegiance to him (the Prophet) and 'Umar was holding the latter's hand (when he was sitting) under the tree (called) Samura (to administer the oath to the companions). He said: We took oath to the effect that we would not flee, but we did not take oath to death.
{Sahih Muslim vol.2, p.#900}

So Mr Sino, what happened to our dear great Umar ibn al-Khattab after the Bay'ah:

# At Khandaq (Ahzab), he hide himself. Umm Mu'minin Aisha exposed him and his cohorts

# At Khaybar, he ran away. Soldiers attached to him called him coward

# At Hunayn, he ran away claiming its Allah's command

Allah's command is clear for runners (after forgiven them once):

"O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve, in a battlefield, never flee from them. And whoever flees away on such a day - unless it be a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop, - he indeed has drawn upon himself wrath from Allah. And his abode is Hellfire, and worse indeed is that destination. {Surah Anfal: 15-16}.

Sino, you can only clear Umar ibn al-khattab of these repeated great crime of running away by citing Sahih ahadith that his running away and hiding away from battlefield were all strategies or retreat to a troop, as Quran declare. If you cannot do this, all your ranting are nothing but filthy talk. Umar broke his Bay'a to Allah and His Prophet.

AlBaqir:
# Imam al-Hakim with the attestation of al-Dhahabi documents:

Narrated Abul Abbas Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Mahboobi in Marw, from Sa'eed Ibn Masoud from Ubaidallah Ibn Musa from No'am Ibn Hakim from Abi Musa al-Hanafi from Ali who said:

The Messenger of Allah went out to Khaybar, when he reached it he sent Umar and a group of people with him to their town or their castle to fight them, but they could not do anything, and Umar with his companions escaped and came back to the Prophet, peace be upon him, his companions were saying that Umar is a coward and he was saying that his companions are cowards and then the Prophet said that famous Hadith. (*)

Al-Hakim: The chain of this narration is authentic, but they (i.e Bukhari and Muslim) have not narrated it.

(*) It is known as The Hadith of Flag.

Footnote: Al-Dhahabi says in Al-Talkhees: It is Sahih [authentic].

Source: Al-Mustadrak ala al-Sahihain, vol.3, pg.#40

Here is the chain for the above report:

Abū al-‘Abbās Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-Maḥbūbī – Sa’īd b. Mas’ūd – ‘Ubayd Allāh b. Mūsā – Na’īm b. Ḥakīm – Abū Mūsā al-Ḥanafī – ‘Alī

1. The narration is not authentically transmitted rather it is weak. The narrator Abu Musa al-Hanafi is probably a mistake by a scribe or a misprint otherwise this narrator is unknown. Actual narrator is Abu Maryam. He is Abu Maryam Ah-Thaqafi al-Mada’ini not the one who is called Al-Hanafi. Another narrator is Abu Maryam al-Hanafi al-Kufi whose name was Iyas bin Sabih and he was a Qadhi of Basrah and narrated from ‘Umar. Abu Maryam Ath-Thaqafi was Majhool(anonymous) as per the statement of Ad-Daarqutni. Even though An-Nasai declared a person Abu Maryam Qais al-Hanafi to be Thiqah but according to Hafiz Ibn Hajar it was his mistake when he named him Qais. An-Nasai intended Abu Maryam al-Kufi but mistakenly named him Qais. In the hadith the narrator from Abu Maryam is Nu’aym bin Hakeem an inhabitant of Mada’in. Therefore it is easy to identify his teacher as Abu Maryam al-Mada’ini Ath-Thaqafi. The narration in “Al-Mustadrak” named him as Abu Maryam al-Hanafi however that is most probably from some of the transmitters as Iyas bin Sabeeh was well famous while the teacher of Nu’aim bin Hakeem was hardly known. Refer to Tahdheeb at-Tahdheeb by Hafiz bin Hajar al-‘Asqalani.

2. Shia translated the verb[b] “Ha za ma” [/b]as[b] “escape”[/b] which is not accurate. Rather it should be translated as[b] “to defeat”[/b] and in sigha of Majhool as “to be defeated”. Hence the meaning given in the narration is that they were defeated. They did fight but could not conquer Khayber and lost the fight.

3. If ‘Umar was such a coward then why the Prophet(saw) sent him as an Ameer in expedition towards Najd few months after Khayber?

4. We see that the narrators were very much frank in narrating about any incident they come to know. Hence, we see that the case of ‘Uthman running from Uhud was well known to the extent that an unknown person came to make argument on it with Abdullah bin ‘Umar. If ‘Umar would have been cowardly then people would have mentioned it even with an excuse they could provide.

5. The text says that they accused each other of cowardice is not a proof of declaring one a coward, similar to the case when Abbas(ra) called Ali(ra) as sinful, treacherous, dishonest and liar, is not a proof against Ali(ra). [See Sahih Muslim, Book 19, Hadith 4349]. All this is when the hadith is authentic which is not the case, since it is weak.

6. As for the claim that, Ali Muttaqi declared it Hasan!!! Then it is because, he might have considered the original narrator to be Abu Maryam al-Kufi instead of Abu Maryam Al-Mada’ini(Majhool) and based on this mistake he erroneously declared it Hasan. We don’t believe our scholars to be infallible, they are prone to errors.

AlBaqir:
Imam al-Bukhari documents:

AlLayth - Yahya b. Sa'id - Umar b. Kathir b. Aflah - Abu Muhammad, freed slave of Abu Qatadah - Abu Qatadah:

On the day of Hunayn, I saw a Muslim fighting with one of the pagans and another pagan was hiding himself behind the Muslim in order to kill him. So I hurried towards the pagan who was hiding behind the Muslim to kill him, and he raised his hand to hit me but I hit his hand and cut it off. That man got hold of me and pressed me so hard that I was afraid, then I knelt down and his grip became loose and I pushed him and killed him. The Muslims fled, and I too fled with them. Suddenly, I met 'Umar b. al-Khattab amongst the people and I asked him, "What is wrong with the people?" He said, "It is the command of Allah." Then the people returned to the Messenger of Allah.

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari (Beirut: Dar Ibn Kathir; 3rd edition, 1407H)[annotator: Dr. Mustafa Dib al-Bagha], vol.4, p.1570, #4067.

Here Umar did not only fled with people but also claimed the fleeing was Allah's command.

Allah's command is explicit in His book:

"O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve, in a battlefield, never flee from them. And whoever flees away on such a day - unless it be a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop, - he indeed has drawn upon himself wrath from Allah. And his abode is Hellfire, and worse indeed is that destination. {Surah Anfal: 15-16}.

We say: There is an agreement that a group of companions remained with the Prophet (saw) and they did not flee. In a tradition narrated by Tirmidhi (1689) –Ibn Hajar said it is Hasan and Al-Albani considered it Sahih – through Ibn ‘Umar (ra) that less than hundred people remained with the Prophet (saw) during Hunain. Hence, as long as there is a possibility that a companion could be among those who were steady with the Prophet (saw) one must abstain from speculating that such and such person fled from the battlefield. If Allah wanted to character-assassin someone He would have done so by taking names but rather He forgave them. We know from the above narration that Abu Bakr and ‘Umar were steady in the battlefield, but even those who are not mentioned should not be accused directly of fleeing unless if there is a proof that so and so person left the battlefield. This is the best and safe methodology based on Qur’anic principles.

Also, it is to be mentioned that after fleeing from the battlefield they returned back to the Prophet (saw). Hence, they were forgiven by Allah.

Another thing is that they did not flee because they were coward. Qur’an never calls them coward. If they were coward then how come they came to face the enemy who was larger in number? Even when they left away they returned back again to fight with the enemy. A coward never endangers his life for someone else. We know the cases of hypocrites who would leave the army before entering the battlefield or rather give excuses to not join the battle. The Hunain incident was in when the army of Hawazin all of a sudden started shooting arrows, so the Muslims were shattered and dispersed to save their life leaving aside the Messenger of Allah(saw). This no doubt was a sin but Allah had forgiven them and they again went for Tabuk to fight for the cause of Allah.

sino:
BATTLE OF HUNAIN


Muhammad bin Ishaq, the Imam of Maghazi, narrates from ‘Aasim bin ‘Umar bin Qatadah from Abdur-Rahman bin Jabir bin ‘Abdullah from his father and in it he mentions those who remained with the Prophet (saw):
Among his family members:
1. ‘Ali
2. Abu Sufyan bin Harith bin ‘Abdul Muttalib
3. Rabi’ah bin Harith bin ‘Abdul Muttalib
4. Fadhl bin ‘Abbas
5. ‘Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib
Among others:
1. Abu Bakr
2. ‘Umar
3. Usamah bin Zaid
4. Ayman bin ‘Ubaid

It was recorded by Ibn Hisham in Seerah (2/443), Ahmad bin Hanbal in Musnad (15027) and Al-Bayhaqi in Dalail an-Nubuwwah (5/126-127). Most of the authors on Seerah do mention it.

At-Tirmidi narrated: After giving chain of narrator till Ibn Umar who said: I have seen on the day of Hunain two groups turned their backs and there was with the messenger of Allah (saw) 100 men.

Ahmed and Al-Hakim narrated from hadeeths of Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah bin Masud from his father who said: “We were with the messenger of Allah (saw) on the day of Hunain when people deserted him, and those who stood firm where 80 men from Muhajirin and Al-Ansar.



Narrated Abu Qatada: We set out in the company of Allah’s Messenger (saw) on the day (of the battle) of Hunain. When we faced the enemy, the Muslims retreated and I saw a pagan throwing himself over a Muslim. I turned around and came upon him from behind and hit him on the shoulder with the sword He (i.e. the pagan) came towards me and seized me so violently that I felt as if it were death itself, but death overtook him and he released me. I followed `Umar bin Al Khattab and asked (him), “What is wrong with the people (fleeing)?” He replied,

“This is the Will of Allah,” (Sahih al-Bukhari #3142)

Sharh Muslim (by Imam Nawawi)
قوله: (كانت للمسلمين جولة) بفتح الجيم أي انهزام وخيفة ذهبوا فيها، وهذا إنما كان في بعض الجيش.

Imam Al-Nawawi commenting on this hadeeths said…that the retreat or defeat was in some of the army (not all).

Sharh Bukhari (by Ibn Hajar)
قوله‏:‏ ‏(‏فلما التقينا كانت للمسلمين جولة‏)‏ بفتح الجيم وسكون الواو أي حركة فيها اختلاف، وقد أطلق في رواية الليث الآتية بعدها أنهم انهزموا، لكن بعد القصة التي ذكرها أبو قتادة، وقد تقدم في حديث البراء أن الجميع لم ينهزموا‏.

Similar comment was also made by Ibn Hajr in his sharh Bukhari who said: ‘and it is mentioned in the narration of Al-Laith which will follow that they were defeated, but (the defeat was) after the story which Abu Qatada mentioned, and it has been preceded in the hadeeths of Al-Bar’a that all were not defeated

Hadeeth and Books of Seerah explicitly state that Umar(ra) was among those who did not flee.

(i). We read the SAHIH Hadith in “Musnad Ahmad” volume 23 page 274 Hadith #14731:
فَانْطَلَقَ النَّاسُ إِلَّا أَنَّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّىاللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَهْطًا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ، وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِغَيْرَ كَثِيرٍ، ثَبَتَ مَعَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ،وَمِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ،وَابْنُهُ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، وَرَبِيعَةُبْنُ الْحَارِثِ، وَأَيْمَنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ، وَأُسَامَةُبْنُ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ هَوَازِنَ عَلَى جَمَلٍ لَهُ أَحْمَرَ فِي يَدِهِرَايَةٌ لَهُ سَوْدَاءُ فِي رَأْسِ رُمْحٍ طَوِيلٍ لَهُ أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، وَهَوَازِنُخَلْفَهُ

Ya’qoub narrated from his Father from Ibn Ishaq from ‘Assim ibn ‘Umar bin Qatada from ‘Abdul-Rahman ibn Jabir from Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah: The people retreated but the Prophet(saw) was accompanied by a group from the Mouhajirun and the Ansar and his Ahlul-Bayt, Those who held their ground and stayed with him were Abu Bakr an ‘Umar and from his Ahlul-Bayt ‘Ali ibn abi Talib and al-‘Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Mutallib and his son al-Fadl and Abu Suffiyan bin al-Harith and Raba’iyah bin al-Harith and Ayman bin ‘Ubeid and he is ibn Umm-Ayman and Usamah ibn Zaid, he said: and a Man from Hawzan (until the end of the narration).

(ii). This is also mentioned in the book “Majma’a al-Zawaed” under “Kitab al-Maghazi wal Siyar” in the chapter “Ghazwat Hunein” Hadith # 10265:
وعن جابر بن عبد الله قال : لما استقبلنا وادي حنين قال : انحدرنا في واد من أودية تهامة أجوف حطوط إنما ننحدر فيه انحدارا ، قال : وفي عماية الصبح ، وقد كان القوم قد كمنوا لنا في شعابه ، وفي أجنابه ، ومضائقه ، قد أجمعوا وتهيئوا وأعدوا
قال : فوالله ما راعنا ونحن منحطون إلا الكتائب قد شدت علينا شدة رجل واحد ، وانهزم الناس راجعين فانشمروا لا يلوي أحد على أحد
وانحاز رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – ذات اليمين ، ثم قال : ” إلي أيها الناس ، إلا أن مع رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وسلم – رهطا من المهاجرين والأنصار ، وأهل بيته غير كثير
وفي من ثبت معه أبو بكر وعمر ، عليهما السلام ، ومن أهل بيته علي بن أبي طالب ، والعباس بن عبد المطلب ، وابنه الفضل بن عباس ، وأبو سفيان بن الحارث ، وربيعة بن الحارث ، وأيمن بن عبيد وهو ابن أم أيمن ، وأسامة بن زيد ، عليهما السلام
قال : ورجل من هوازن على جمل له أحمر ، في يده راية له سوداء في رأس رمح له طويل أمام الناس وهوازن خلفه ، فإذا أدرك طعن برمحه ، فإذا فاته الناس رفع لمن وراءه فاتبعوه

(iii). Al-Bidaya wal-Nihaya of Ibn Kathir:
فلما رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أمر الناس ومعه رهط من أهل بيته‏:‏ علي بن أبي طالب، وأبو سفيان ابن الحارث بن عبد المطلب، وأخوه ربيعة بن الحارث بن عبد المطلب، والفضل بن العباس، وقيل الفضيل بن أبي سفيان، وأيمن ابن أم أيمن، وأسامة بن زيد‏.‏
ومن الناس من يزيد فيهم قثم بن العباس، ورهط من المهاجرين‏:‏ منهم أبو بكر، وعمر، والعباس آخذ بحكمة بغلته البيضاء وهو عليها قد شجرها‏.‏

It mentions the names of those who stood firm with prophet…(and group of Al-Ansar: Among them Abu Bakr, Umar and Abbas…)

Similarly, we read in Tafsir Ibn Kathir:

There remained between a hundred and eighty Companions with the Prophet . These included Abu Bakr, `Umar, Al-`Abbas, `Ali, Al-Fadl bin `Abbas, Abu Sufyan bin Al-Harith, Ayman the son of Umm Ayman and Usamah bin Zayd. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

(iv). Al-Seerah Al-Nabawi of ibn Hisham:
من ثبت معه صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏
وفيمن ثبت معه من المهاجرين أبو بكر وعمر ، ومن أهل بيته علي بن أبي طالب والعباس بن عبدالمطلب ، وأبو سفيان بن الحارث ، وابنه ، والفضل بن العباس ، وربيعة بن الحارث ، وأسامة بن زيد ، وأيمن بن عبيد ، قتل يومئذ ‏.‏

Those who stood firm with the Messenger :
And those who stood firm with him from among the Muhajirin were Abu Bakr and Umar, and from Ahlul Bayt Ali bin Abi Talib and Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib…

(v). Tariq Al-Rusool Wal-Mulook of At-Tabari
رواية الطبري في كتابه تاريخ الرسل والملوك التي ذكر فيها ثبات سيدنا ابوبكر وعمر وعلي رضي الله عنهما يوم حنين
إلا أنه قد بقي مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم نفر من المهاجرين والأنصار وأهل بيته. وممن ثبت معه من المهاجرين أبو بكر، عمر، ومن أهل بيته علي بن أبي طالب، والعباس بن عبد المطلب، وأبنه الفضل، وأبو سفيان بن الحارث،

At-Tabari narrated in his book Tariq Al-Rusool Wal-Mulook where he mentions the firmness of Abu Bakr, Umar and Ali (may Allah be pleased with them all) on the day of Al-Hunain.

There remain with Messenger of Allah (saw) group of Muhajirin and Ansar and from his Ahlul Bait. And among those who stood firm from Al-Muhajirin were Abu Bakr, Umar and from his Ahlul Bayt Ali bin Abi Talib, Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib,…
