[Machine] There was a battle with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and everyone had their own mount, except for me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would come down and say to me, "Get on." And I would reply, "I have the strength to do so only two or three times." Then he would say, "You are nothing but a weakling." He said, "And that became one of my beloved names to him."  

الطبراني:١٨٠٤٥bحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ يَعِيشَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْلَى عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ عَنْ مَثْعَبٍ قَالَ

كَانَ غَزْوٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا وَلَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ يَعْتَقِبُ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرِي قَالَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْزِلُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِي «ارْكَبْ» فَأَقُولُ إِنَّ بِي قُوَّةً حَتَّى يَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَيَقُولُ «مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا مَثْعَبٌ» قَالَ «فَكَانَ مِنْ أَحَبِّ أَسْمَائِي إِلَيَّ»
