حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَعَارَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَرَسًا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمَنْدُوبُ فَرَكِبَهُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا

Translation

✧ I heard Anas b. Mālik say: There was a fright in Madinah. The Prophet ﷺ borrowed a horse belonging to Abū Ṭalḥa, called al-Mandūb, and rode it. When he returned, he said: “We saw nothing, but we found it to be a sea.”
