[Machine] He saw Abu Barza al-Aslami praying while holding the reins of his horse. When he went into the bowing position, the reins slipped from his hand and the horse ran off. Abu Barza fell onto his back and did not turn around until he caught the horse and took hold of it. Then he continued walking as he was and came to the place where he had prayed. He completed his prayer and then said, "I have accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in many battles, even counting the number of expeditions. I have seen his leniency and ease, so I followed that. If I had left my horse until it reached the desert and then walked slowly like an old man, stumbling in darkness, it would have been more difficult for me."  

أَنَّهُ رَأَى أَبَا بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّ يُصَلِّي وَعِنَانُ دَابَّتِهِ فِي يَدِهِ فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ انْفَلَتَ الْعِنَانُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَانْطَلَقَتِ الدَّابَّةُ فَنَكَصَ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ عَلَى عَقِبِهِ وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ حَتَّى لَحِقَ الدَّابَّةَ وَأَخَذَهَا ثُمَّ مَشَى كَمَا هُوَ ثُمَّ أَتَى مَكَانَهُ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ فَقَضَى صَلَاتَهُ فَأَتَمَّهَا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي قَدْ صَحِبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوٍ كَثِيرٍ حَتَّى عَدَّ غَزَوَاتٍ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْ رُخْصَتِهِ وَتَيْسِيرِهِ فَأَخَذْتُ بِذَلِكَ فَلَوْ أَنِّي تَرَكْتُ دَابَّتِي حَتَّى تَلْحَقَ بِالصَّحْرَاءِ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقْتُ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا أَتَخَبَّطُ الظُّلْمَةَ كَانَ أَشَدَّ عَلَيَّ»
