حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ رَكِبَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرَسًا لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْدُوبٌ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا كَانَ مِنْ فَزَعٍ وَإِنْ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَبَحْرًا ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏

Mahmud ibn Ghaylan reported to us from Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi, who said: Shu bah informed us from Qatadah, who reported to us from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Prophet rode a horse belonging to Abu Talhah, called Mandub. He said: There was no cause for alarm; indeed, we found him to be a sea.

Abu Isa said: A report on this subject also comes from Ibn Amr ibn al-As. This hadith is hasan sahih.
