Musnad Abi Ya'la 3152 — once there was fear in Madinah of an enemy
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَزَعٌ ، فَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَرَسًا لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ كَانَ يَقْطِفُ ، فَرَجَعَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، فَقَالَ : وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا مِنَ الْبُحُورِ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ لَا يُجَارَى .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once there was fear in Madinah of an enemy attack, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rode a horse belonging to Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) that was slow and walked with short steps. Then, when the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned (after assessing the situation), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We found it to be (in its speed and flow) a sea among the seas." The narrator says: after that, the speed of that horse was such that no other horse could compete with it.
