Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ أُسَامَةَ فَسُئِلَ عَنْ مَسِيرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ دَفَعَ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ الْعَنَقَ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ فَجْوَةً نَصَّ يَعْنِي فَوْقَ الْعَنَقِ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, Hisham ibn Urwah told us, from his father, who said: I was sitting with Usamah when he was asked about the pace of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he moved off from Arafah, and he said: He used to go at a steady trot, and when he found an open space he would go faster - meaning faster than the steady trot.
