Sahih al-Bukhari 4280

It is related that Hisham's father said, "When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, travelled in the year of the Conquest, Quraysh heard about that and Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, Hakim ibn Hiram and Budayl ibn Warqa' went out to look for news of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. They travelled until they reached Marr az-Zahran and there were fires like the fires of 'Arafa. Abu Sufyan asked, 'What is this? It looks like the fires of 'Arafa!' Budayl ibn Warqa' replied, 'The fires of the Banu 'Amr.' Abu Sufyan said, ''Amr are less than that.' Some of the sentries of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw them and caught them and brought them to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Abu Sufyan became Muslim. When the Prophet travelled, he told al-'Abbas, 'Keep Abu Sufyan at the peak of the mountain so that he can see the Muslims.' Al-'Abbas kept him there while the tribes began to pass with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passing squadron after squadron in front of Abu Sufyan. A squadron passed and he asked, ''Abbas, who are these?' He rplied, 'These are Ghifar.' He said, 'I have nothing to do with Ghifar.' Then Juhayna passed and he said the like of that. Then Sa'd ibn Hudhaym passed and he said the like of that. Sulaym passed and he said the like of that, until a squadron pased whose like he had not seen. He asked, 'Who are these?' He said, 'These are the Ansar led by Sa'd ibn 'Ubada who has the standard.' Sa'd ibn 'Ubada said, 'O Abu Sufyan! Today is the day of battle. Today the Ka'ba will be made lawful!' Abu Sufyan said, 'O 'Abbas, how splendid the day of raging war is!' Then a squadron came, which was the smallest of the squadrons, among which were the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his Companions. The banner of the Prophet* was with az-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam. When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, passed by Abu Sufyan, he said, 'Do you know what Sa'd ibn 'Ubada said?' He asked, 'What did he say?' He said, 'Such-and-such.' He said, 'Sa'd lied. Rather this is a day in which Allah will exalt the Ka'ba, and a day in which the Ka'ba will be covered.'" He said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commanded that his banner be fixed at al-Hajun." It is related from Nafi' ibn Jubayr, "I heard al-'Abbas say to az-Zubayr ibn al-'Awwam, ''Abdullah! It is here that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commands you to fix the banner.'" He said, "On that day the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commanded Khalid ibn al-Walid to enter from the upper part of Makka from Kada' while the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered from Kuda. On that day two men of the cavalry of Khalid ibn al-Walid were killed: Hubaysh ibn al-Ash'ar and Kurz ibn Jabir al-Fihri.
