The 'Prophet was the best and the bravest amongst the people. Once the people of Medina got terrified at night, so they went in the direction of the noise (that terrified them). The Prophet ﷺ met them (on his way back) after he had found out the truth. He was riding an unsaddled horse belonging to Abu Talha and a sword was hanging by his neck, and he was saying, "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" He further said, "I found it (i.e. the horse) very fast," or said, "This horse is very fast." (Qastala-ni)  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَأَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلَةً فَخَرَجُوا نَحْوَ الصَّوْتِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْخَبَرَ وَهْوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْىٍ وَفِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ لَمْ تُرَاعُوا لَمْ تُرَاعُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا أَوْ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ was the best among the people (both in shape and character) and was the most generous of them, and was the bravest of them. Once, during the night, the people of Medina got afraid (of a sound). So the people went towards that sound, but the Prophet ﷺ having gone to that sound before them, met them while he was saying, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." (At that time) he was riding a horse belonging to Abu Talha and it was naked without a saddle, and he was carrying a sword slung at his neck. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I found it (the horse) like a sea, or, it is the sea indeed."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَأَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَأَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَانْطَلَقَ النَّاسُ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدْ سَبَقَ النَّاسَ إِلَى الصَّوْتِ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ لَنْ تُرَاعُوا لَنْ تُرَاعُوا وَهْوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْىٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ سَرْجٌ فِي عُنُقِهِ سَيْفٌ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْتُهُ بَحْرًا أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ  

There was nothing to be afraid of, and he also said: We found it (this horse) like a torrent of water (indicating its swift-footedness), whereas the horse had been slow before that time.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَانْطَلَقَ نَاسٌ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَاجِعًا وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ إِلَى الصَّوْتِ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْىٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَمْ تُرَاعُوا لَمْ تُرَاعُوا قَالَ وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ قَالَ وَكَانَ فَرَسًا يُبَطَّأُ  

“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 no saddle. His sword was hanging from his neck and he was saying: ‘O 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.’”*  

ذُكِرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلَةً فَانْطَلَقُوا قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ إِلَى الصَّوْتِ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْىٍ 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 كَانَ فَرَسًا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يُبَطَّأُ فَمَا سُبِقَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the best among people, the bravest among people, and the most generous among people. There was a commotion in the city, so the people went out before the sound and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ faced them, preceded them, and calmed the commotion on a horse that belonged to Abu Talha, which had no saddle on its neck and a sword. He said, "Why didn't you wait?" He said to the horse, "We found it like a sea or indeed it is a sea."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَأَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَأَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 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  

There was nothing to be afraid of, and he also said: We found it (this horse) like a torrent of water (indicating its swift-footedness), whereas the horse had been slow before that time. (Using translation from Muslim 2307a)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَأَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَأَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ قَالَ فُزِّعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلَةً قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ النَّاسُ قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَمْ تُرَاعُوا؟ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ لِلنَّاسِ لَمْ تُرَاعُوا؟ قَالَ وَقَالَ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا أَوْ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ يَعْنِي الْفَرَسَ  

“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 no saddle. His sword was hanging from his neck and he was saying: ‘O 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.’”* (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2772)   

أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ فَانْطَلَقُوا قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ سَبَقَهُمْ إِلَى الصَّوْتِ وَهُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ سَرْجٌ وَفِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِلنَّاسِ «لَمْ تُرَاعُوا» يَرُدُّهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْفَرَسِ «وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا وَإِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the best of people, the most generous of people, and the bravest of people. The people of Madinah were startled one night and they rushed towards the sound. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had already reached them riding a horse that belonged to Abu Talhah, which was bareback and had no saddle. A sword was on his neck. He said, "Do not panic," and he informed them of the news before them, saying, "We have found it to be a sea or he said, 'Indeed, it is a sea.' " He said, "And he was a thoroughbred horse."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ قَالَ وَفَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلَةً فَانْطَلَقُوا قِبَلَ الصَّوْتِ قَالَ فَتَلَقَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْيٍ مَا عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَالسَّيْفُ فِي عُنُقِهِ قَالَ لَنْ تُرَاعُوا فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْخَبَرَ وَسَبَقَهُمْ وَقَالَ وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا أَوْ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ قَالَ وَكَانَ فَرَسًا ثَبِطًا
