حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ "، قَالَ: وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلَةً، فَانْطَلَقَ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ، فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ 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 وَإِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ " قَالَ أَنَسٌ: " وَكَانَ الْفَرَسُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ يُبَطَّأُ، قَالَ: مَا سُبِقَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) was the most beautiful, generous, and courageous of all people. Once, the people of Madinah were frightened at night due to fear of an enemy and set out towards the source of the sound. They saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) was returning, riding on the unsaddled horse of Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), with a sword hanging around his neck, and he was telling the people that there is nothing to worry about, do not be afraid. Regarding the horse, he said, "We found it as swift as the sea," although previously that horse was slow, but after that, no horse could surpass it.
