553 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ كَمْ مَرَّةٍ لَا أُحْصِيهِ لَا أَعُدُّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: سُئِلَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَأَنَا إِلَي جَنْبِهِ وَكَانَ رِدْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ حَتَّي أَتَي الْمُزْدَلِفَةَ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسِيرُ حِينَ دَفَعَ؟ قَالَ «كَانَ يَسِيرُ الْعَنَقَ؟ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ فَجْوَةً نَصَّ» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ هِشَامٌ «وَالنَّصُّ فَوْقَ الْعَنَقِ»
Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father: Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked—I was present beside him at that time—he had remained seated with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the ride from Arafah to Muzdalifah. (The question was:) When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, at what pace did he travel? He replied: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) traveled at a moderate pace, but when an elevation came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would increase his speed a little. Sufyan has narrated this statement of Hisham: The word "nas" is used for a pace that is slightly faster than "anaq."
