4988. It was narrated that Anas said: "There was a panic in Al-Madinah, and the Prophet ﷺ rode a horse belonging to Abū Ṭalḥah, and he said: 'We did not see anything, or we did not see any cause for panic, and we found it (the horse) to be (swift) like a sea.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
4988 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: " كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، فَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَسًا لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ، فَقَالَ: مَا رَأَيْنَا شَيْئًا - أَوْ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ فَزَعٍ -، وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا "

The Prophet ﷺ described the swiftness of the horse as sea. It is inferred by this chapter and this narration that calling the 'Ishā' prayer Al-'Atamah ("Darkness prayer") would be allowed, provided its name not be changed absolutely.
