[6006] 48 - (2307) It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was the best of people, and he was the most generous of people and the most courageous of people. One night the people of Al-Madīnah were in a state of panic, and some people went out towards the noise. They were met by the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, who was coming back, as he had gone towards the noise before them. He was riding the horse of Abū Ṭalḥah bareback, with his sword around his neck, and he said: ‘Do not be afraid, do not be afraid.’ And he said: ‘We found it (the horse) to be swift-footed’ or, ‘It is swift-footed.’” He said: “And it was a horse that was known to be slow.”
