حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَاسْتَعَارَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَسًا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: الْمَنْدُوبُ، فَرَكِبَهُ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ: مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ، وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا.
Anas ibn Malik, "There was some alarm in Madina and the Prophet,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, borrowed a horse belonging to
Abu Talha called al-Mandub. He rode it, and when he returned he said, 'We
did not see anything and he found the horse to be a sea."
حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: أَرِقَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ: لَيْتَ رَجُلاً صَالِحًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي يَجِيئُنِي فَيَحْرُسَنِي اللَّيْلَةَ، إِذْ سَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ السِّلاَحِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، جِئْتُ أَحْرُسُكَ، فَنَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا غَطِيطَهُ.
'A'isha said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
was sleepless one night and said, 'Would that a man of righteous action
among my Companions would come and guard me tonight!' Then he heard the
sound of weapons. He asked, 'Who is it?' 'Sa'd,' came the answer. Sa'd
said, 'Messenger of Allah, I have come to guard you.' The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, slept and we heard him
snore."
Abu Yazid or Ma'n ibn Yazid reported that the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "Gather in your mosques. When the
people are gathered, come and tell me.' The first of those to whom he came
was us and he sat down. One of the speakers spoke and said, 'Praise be
to Allah. No praise can be directed to anyone except Him nor is there any
escape without Him.' The Prophet got angry, stood up and we blamed one
another. Then he went to another mosque and sat in it. We sent to him and
spoke to him. He came with us and sat where he had been sitting or near
to it. Then he said, 'Praise be to Allah who puts whatever He wishes before
Him and whatever He wishes behind Him. There is some magic in eloquence.'
Then he commanded us and taught us."
