Hadith 2307
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ يَحْيَي التَّمِيمِيُّ ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَي ، قَالَ يَحْيَي : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ ، وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ ، وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ ، وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ، فَانْطَلَقَ نَاسٌ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ ، فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَاجِعًا ، وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ إِلَى الصَّوْتِ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عُرْيٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : لَمْ تُرَاعُوا ، لَمْ تُرَاعُوا ، قَالَ : وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا ، أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ ، قَالَ : وَكَانَ فَرَسًا يُبَطَّأُ " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was the sublimest among people (in character) and the most generous amongst them and he was the bravest of men. One night the people of Madinah felt disturbed and set forth in the direction of a sound when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) met them on his way back as he had gone towards that sound ahead of them. He was on the horse of Abu Talha which had no saddle over it, and a sword was slung round his neck, and he was saying: There was nothing to be afraid of, and he also said: We found it (this horse) like a torrent of water (indicating its swift-footedness), whereas the horse had been slow before that time.
Hadith 2307
وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَزَعٌ ، فَاسْتَعَارَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَسًا لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : مَنْدُوبٌ ، فَرَكِبَهُ ، فَقَالَ : مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ فَزَعٍ ، وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا " .
Anas reported that there was consternation in Madinah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) borrowed the horse from Abu Talha which was called Mandub. He rode it and said: We have found no reason for consternation, and we have found it to be (as quick as a torrent) of water.
Hadith 2307
وحَدَّثَنَاه مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنِيهِ يَحْيَي بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : فَرَسًا لَنَا ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ : لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا .
