The Prophet ﷺ was the best, the bravest and the most generous of all the people. Once when the people of Medina got frightened, the Prophet ﷺ rode a horse and went ahead of them and said, "We found this horse very fast."  

البخاري:٢٨٢٠ – حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَأَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ وَأَجْوَدَ النَّاسِ وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَبَقَهُمْ عَلَى فَرَسٍ وَقَالَ وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا
