Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 17972 — There was a military expedition

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ يَعِيشَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ، عَنْ مَثْعَبٍ قَالَ: كَانَ غَزْوٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا وَلَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ يَعْتَقِبُ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرِي، قَالَ: فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْزِلُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِي: «ارْكَبْ» ، فَأَقُولُ: إِنَّ بِي قُوَّةً، حَتَّى يَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا، فَيَقُولُ: «مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا مَثْعَبٌ» قَالَ: «فَكَانَ مِنْ أَحَبِّ أَسْمَائِي إِلَيَّ»
قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ «أُسَافِرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَيَصُومُ بَعْضُهُمْ وَيُفْطِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَعِبِ الصَّائِمَ عَلَى الْمُفْطِرِ، وَلَا الْمُفْطِرَ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ»
Sayyiduna Mith'ab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was a military expedition with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and every one of them had his own mount on which he rode in turns, except me. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would dismount and then say to me: "Ride." And I would say: "I have strength," until he did that two or three times, then he said: "You are nothing but a gushing spring (mith'ab)." He said: That became one of my most beloved names to me.
He said: I used to travel with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions, and some of them would fast and some would not fast; the one fasting never found fault with the one not fasting, nor the one not fasting with the one fasting.
