Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، - قَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سُئِلَ أُسَامَةُ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ، أَوْ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرْدَفَهُ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ أَفَاضَ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ قَالَ كَانَ يَسِيرُ الْعَنَقَ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ فَجْوَةً نَصَّ ‏ .‏

Translation

Urwa said: Usama was asked while I was present—or I asked Usama ibn Zayd, who had ridden behind the Messenger of Allah from Arafat—“How did the Messenger of Allah travel when he departed from Arafat?” He replied: “He traveled at a measured pace, and when he found open space, he urged his mount on.”
