Sahih al-Bukhari, 6127

Rapporté par Al-Azraq bin Qais : Nous étions dans la ville d’Al-Ahwaz, au bord d’une rivière asséchée. Abu Barza Al-Aslami est arrivé à cheval, il a commencé à prier et a laissé son cheval en liberté. Le cheval s’est enfui, alors Abu Barza a interrompu sa prière, il est parti rattraper le cheval, l’a ramené, puis il a repris sa prière. Parmi nous, un homme (des Khawarij) n’était pas d’accord et a dit : « Regardez ce vieil homme ! Il a quitté sa prière à cause d’un cheval. » Abu Barza est alors venu vers nous et a dit : « Depuis que j’ai quitté le Messager d’Allah (ﷺ), personne ne m’a fait de reproche. Ma maison est très loin d’ici, si j’avais continué à prier en laissant mon cheval, je ne serais pas rentré chez moi avant la nuit. » Puis Abu Barza a raconté qu’il avait accompagné le Prophète et qu’il avait vu sa douceur

Narrated Al-Azraq bin Qais:We were in the city of Al-Ahwaz on the bank of a river which had dried up. Then Abu Barza Al- Aslami came riding a horse and he started praying and let his horse loose. The horse ran away, so Abu Barza interrupted his prayer and went after the horse till he caught it and brought it, and then he offered his prayer. There was a man amongst us who was (from the Khawari) having a different opinion. He came saying. "Look at this old man! He left his prayer because of a horse." On that Abu Barza came to us and said, "Since the time I left Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), nobody has admonished me; My house is very far from this place, and if I had carried on praying and left my horse, I could not have reached my house till night." Then Abu Barza mentioned that he had been in the company of the Prophet, and that he had seen his leniency
