حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ ذُکِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ کَانَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَکَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَکَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلَةً فَانْطَلَقُوا قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ إِلَی الصَّوْتِ وَهُوَ عَلَی فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ سَرْجٌ فِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَنْ تُرَاعُوا يَرُدُّهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْفَرَسِ وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَحَدَّثَنِي ثَابِتٌ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ کَانَ فَرَسًا لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يُبَطَّأُ فَمَا سُبِقَ بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ الْيَوْمِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2772
It was narrated from Hammad bin Zaid from Thabit, that the Prophet P.B.U.H was mentioned before Anas bin Malik and he said: "He was the best of people, the most generous of people, the most courageous of people. The people of Al-Madinah became alarmed one night, and he was the first of them to investigate the noise and din. He was riding a horse belonging to Abu Talhah, bareback, with saddle. His sword was hanging from his neck and he was saying: people, do not be afraid' sending them back to their houses. Then he said of the horse , We found it like a sea, or, 'It is a sea.' (Sahih) Hammad said' . Thabit or someone else narrated to saying. Abu Talhah' s horse was, slow, but it was never left behind after that day."
