Hadith 11232
عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ قَالَ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلَةً فَانْطَلَقَ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَاجِعًا قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لَهُمُ الصَّوْتَ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ سَرْجٌ وَفِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِلنَّاسِ لَمْ تُرَاعُوا لَمْ تُرَاعُوا وَقَالَ لِلْفَرَسِ وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ قَالَ أَنَسٌ وَكَانَ الْفَرَسُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ يُبَطَّأُ قَالَ مَا سُبِقَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most handsome and beautiful, the most generous, and the bravest of all people. One night, the people of Madinah became frightened and alarmed due to some reason. People set out in the direction from which the sound had come to find out what had happened, but what did they see? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was returning from that direction. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was riding the horse of Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), which was bareback, without a saddle. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had gone to investigate the source of the sound, and there was a sword hanging around his neck. He was loudly saying to the people: "Do not be afraid, do not be afraid." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said about the horse: "We found it to be like the sea." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Before this, the horse was extremely slow, but after that, it was never left behind by other horses.
Hadith 11233
عَنْ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَعَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَسًا لَنَا يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْدُوبٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ فَزَعٍ وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا
(Second Chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once there was a situation of fear in Madinah Munawwarah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) borrowed our horse named Mandub, and upon returning, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: We did not see anything to be afraid of, and we found this horse to be like the sea.
Hadith 11234
عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ أَفَرَرْتُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ فَقَالَ الْبَرَاءُ وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَفِرَّ كَانَتْ هَوَازِنُ نَاسًا رُمَاةً وَإِنَّا لَمَّا حَمَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ انْكَشَفُوا فَأَكْبَبْنَا عَلَى الْغَنَائِمِ فَاسْتَقْبَلُونَا بِالسِّهَامِ وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَإِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ آخِذٌ بِلِجَامِهَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ لَا كَذِبْ أَنَا ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ
It is narrated from Abu Ishaq, he says: I heard Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), when a man from Banu Qais asked him, "Did you people flee and leave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the Battle of Hunayn?" He replied, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not flee; in fact, Banu Hawazin were expert archers. When we attacked them, they scattered. We began collecting the spoils of war, and they confronted us with arrows. I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) riding his white mule, and Abu Sufyan bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) was holding its reins, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was reciting this rajaz: 'I am the Prophet, there is no lie; I am the son of Abdul Muttalib.'"
Hadith 11235
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَمَّا حَضَرَ الْبَأْسُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ اتَّقَيْنَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ مَا كَانَ أَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْهُ
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the day of the Battle of Badr, when the battle was raging, we began seeking refuge through the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) was the strongest and bravest of all, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was the closest to the polytheists.
Hadith 11236
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَنَحْنُ نَلُوذُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ أَقْرَبُنَا إِلَى الْعَدُوِّ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَأْسًا
(Second chain) Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw the Companions on the day of Badr that we were seeking refuge through the Messenger of Allah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was the closest of all of us to the polytheists, and he fought the most fiercely on that day.
Hadith 11237
عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُلْقِيَ فِي قَلْبِي الْإِسْلَامُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَا أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي لَا أَخِيسُ بِالْعَهْدِ وَلَا أَحْبِسُ الْبُرُدَ وَلَكِنِ ارْجِعْ فَإِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي فِي نَفْسِكَ الْآنَ فَارْجِعْ قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ وَأَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ كَانَ قِبْطِيًّا
Sayyiduna Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Quraysh sent me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When I saw him, love for Islam was instilled in my heart. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! By Allah, I will never return to them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not break covenants, nor do I detain messengers. You should return, and if you still have the same desire (for accepting Islam) in your heart as you do now, then come back.
