Hadith 303
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ، وَأَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ، وَأَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ، وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَانْطَلَقَ النَّاسُ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ سَبَقَ النَّاسَ إِلَى الصَّوْتِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ”لَنْ تُرَاعُوا، لَنْ تُرَاعُوا“، وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ، مَا عَلَيْهِ سَرْجٌ، وَفِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ، فَقَالَ: ”لَقَدْ وَجَدْتُهُ بَحْرًا، أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the most beautiful of all people, the most generous of all people, and the bravest of all people. One night, the people of Madinah were frightened, so the people went towards the sound, and they saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) coming from the front. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had gone alone before the people towards the direction from which the sound had come, and he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was saying: "There is nothing to fear, do not be afraid." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was riding the horse of Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) without a saddle, and there was a sword hanging around his neck. Then he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I found this horse to be as fast as the sea." Or, "Indeed, it is certainly like the sea."
