We read in Musnad al-Bazzar Vol 7, pg.227-228, Hadith # 2800:

حدثنا عباد بن يعقوب قال: أخبرنا محمد بن فضيل قال: أخبرنا الوليد بن جميع عن أبي الطفيل عن حذيفة - رضي الله عنه - قال : لما كان غزوة تبوك أمر رسول الله ﷺ منادياً فنادي أن رسول الله ﷺ أخذ العقبة فلا تأخذوها فسار رسول الله ﷺ في العقبة وعمار يسوق وحذيفة يقود به فإذا هم برواحل عليها قوم متلثمون فقال رسول الله ﷺ: قد قد، ويا عمار من سن فأقبل عمار على القوم فضرب وجوه رواحلهم فلما هبط رسول الله ﷺ من العقبة قال: يا عمار قد عرفت القوم، أو قال: قد عرفت عامة القوم أو الرواحل، أندري ما أراد القوم؟ قلت: الله ورسوله أعلم قال: أرادوا أن ينفروا برسول الله ﷺ. وهذا الحديث لا تعلمه يروى بهذا اللفظ إلا عن حذيفة عن النبي ﷺ وقد روى عن حذيفة من غير هذا
الوجه، وهذا الوجه أحسنها اتصالاً وأصلحها إسناداً إلا أن أبا الطفيل قد روى عن النبي ﷺ أحاديث. والوليد بن جميع هذا لمعروف إلا أنه كانت فيه شيعية شديدة وقد احتمل أهل العلم حديثه وحدثوا عنه

‘Abbad bin Ya'qub narrated to us, saying: Muhammad bin Fudayl informed us, and Al-Walid bin Jumai’ informed us from Abu Al-Tufayl from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

'During the Battle of Tabuk, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered a caller to announce that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had taken the mountain pass, so do not take it.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) proceeded on the pass while ‘Ammar was driving and Hudhayfah was leading. Suddenly, they encountered camels with men whose faces were covered. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Go ahead, ‘Ammar." Then ‘Ammar approached the men and struck the faces of their camels. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) descended from the pass, he said: "‘Ammar, did you recognize the men?" or he said: "Did you recognize most of the men or the camels?" He asked: "Do you know what they intended?" I replied: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "They intended to startle the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)."'

This hadith is not known to be narrated with this wording except from Hudhayfah, from the Prophet (ﷺ). It has been narrated from Hudhayfah through other routes, but this one is the best in terms of connection and the most sound in its chain of transmission. However, it should be noted that Abu Al-Tufayl narrated several hadiths from the Prophet (ﷺ). Al-Walid bin Jumai’ is well-known, though he had strong Shia tendencies, but the scholars accepted his hadith and transmitted from him
