وَعَن قَتَادَة قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ: كَانَ فَزَعٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَعَارَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَسًا مِنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: الْمَنْدُوبُ فَرَكِبَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَالَ: «مَا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَإِن وَجَدْنَاهُ لبحرا»

Qatadah reported: I heard Anas say: There was an alarm in Madinah, so the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) borrowed a horse from Abu Talhah called al-Mandub and rode it. When he returned, he said: ‘We saw nothing, and we found him to be like the sea [in speed].’ It is agreed upon. Its listed grading is agreed upon (al-Albani).
