Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَعَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَسًا لَنَا يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْدُوبٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ فَزَعٍ وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ يَعْنِي الْفَرَسَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'bah and Hajjaj told us — Hajjaj said: Shu'bah told me — I heard Qatadah narrating from Anas ibn Malik, who said: There was a night alarm in Medina, so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, borrowed a horse of ours called Mandub. He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "We found no cause for alarm, and indeed we found it (the horse) to be like a sea." Hajjaj said: meaning the horse.
