حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَحْسَنَ النَّاسِ وَأَشْجَعَ النَّاسِ، وَلَقَدْ فَزِعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلَةً فَخَرَجُوا نَحْوَ الصَّوْتِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَدِ اسْتَبْرَأَ الْخَبَرَ، وَهْوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ عُرْىٍ وَفِي عُنُقِهِ السَّيْفُ وَهْوَ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ لَمْ تُرَاعُوا لَمْ تُرَاعُوا ‏"‏. ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَجَدْنَاهُ بَحْرًا ‏"‏. أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ لَبَحْرٌ ‏"‏.

English translation
Narrated Anas: The 'Prophet was the best and the bravest amongst the people. Once the people of Medina got terrified at night, so they went in the direction of the noise (that terrified them). The Prophet (ﷺ) met them (on his way back) after he had found out the truth. He was riding an unsaddled horse belonging to Abu Talha and a sword was hanging by his neck, and he was saying, "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" He further said, "I found it (i.e. the horse) very fast," or said, "This horse is very fast." (Qastala-ni)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আনাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) সকল লোকের চেয়ে সুশ্রী ও সাহসী ছিলেন। এক রাতে মদিনার লোকেরা ভীত হয়ে শব্দের দিকে বের হলো। তখন নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) তাঁদের সামনে এলেন এমন অবস্থায় যে, তিনি শব্দের কারণ অন্বেষণ করে ফেলেছেন। তিনি আবূ ত্বলহার জিনবিহীন ঘোড়ার পিঠে সাওয়ার ছিলেন এবং তাঁর কাঁধে তরবারি ছিল। তিনি বলছিলেন, তোমরা ভীত হয়ো না। অতঃপর তিনি বললেন, আমি ঘোড়াটিকে সমুদ্রের মত গতিশীল পেয়েছি, অথবা তিনি বললেন, এটি সমুদ্র। (২৬২৭) (মুসলিম ৪৩/১১ হাঃ ২৩০৭, আহমাদ ১২৭৪৪) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৬৯৩, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
