Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar: Ibn Umar was sent with a detachment of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The people wheeled round in flight. He said: I was one of those who wheeled round in flight. When we stopped; we said i.e. thought : How should we do? We have run away from the battlefield and deserve Allah wrath. Then we said thought : Let us enter Medina; stay there; and go there while no one sees us. So we entered Medina and thought: If we present ourselves before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; and if there is a change of repentance for us; we shall stay; if there is something else; we shall go away. So we sat down waiting for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ before the dawn prayer. When he came out; we stood up to him and said: We are the ones who have fled. He turned to us and said: No; you are the ones who return to fight after wheeling away. We then approached and kissed his hand; and he said; I am the main body of the Muslims.
