[7522] (...) It was narrated that Al-Barâ’ said: “Abû Bakr bought a saddle from my father for thirteen Dirham” – and he quoted a Hadîth like that of Zuhair from Abû Ishâq (no. 7521). And he said in his Hadîth, from the report of ‘Uthmân bin ‘Umar: “...When he (Surâqah bin Mâlik) drew near, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed against him, and his horse sank up to its belly in the earth. He leapt from it and said: ‘O Muhammad, I know that this is your doing. Pray to Allâh to save me from it, and I promise you that I will keep it secret from those who are behind me. Here is my bow, take an arrow from it, and you will find my camels and my slaves in such and such a place; take whatever you need of them.’ He said: ‘I have no need of your camels.’ And we came to Al-Madinah at night, and they disputed as to which of them the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ would stay with. He (ﷺ) said: ‘I will go and stay with Banû An-Najjâr, the maternal uncles of ‘Abdul-Muṭṭalib, and honor them thereby.’ The men and women climbed on top of the houses, and the children and servants scattered in the streets, calling out: ‘O Muhammad, O Messenger of Allâh, O Muḥammad, O Messenger of Allâh!’”
