Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَأَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَأَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ فَاسْتَبْرَأَ الْفَزَعَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ سَرْجٌ فِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ فَقَالَ لَمْ تُرَاعُوا وَقَالَ لِلْفَرَسِ وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ.
English Translation
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Mahdi told us, from Hammad ibn Zayd, from Thabit, from Anas — and Abu Kamil also told us, Hammad ibn Zayd told us, Thabit told us, from Anas — who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was the most handsome of people, the bravest of people, and the most generous of people. There was alarm in Medina, and the people went out towards the sound, and the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, met them, having already gone ahead of them, having investigated the source of the alarm on a bareback horse of Abu Talhah's, with no saddle on it, and the sword around his neck. He said, "Do not be alarmed," and he said of the horse, "We found it to be like a sea," or "It is indeed like a sea."
