Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَزَعٌ فَرَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَسًا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ، وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us, from Shubah, who said: Qatadah told me, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: There was an alarm in Medina, so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, rode a horse belonging to Abu Talhah. He said, ‘We saw nothing, and we found it to be a sea.’
