Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 7, Hadith 12

It was narrated that az-Zubair (رضي الله عنه) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say one day: `Paradise is due to Talhah,` when he did what he did for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)(i.e., when Talhah leaned down and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) climbed on his back.)

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مَخْزُومِيٌّ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ إِنْسَانَ، قَالَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا عِنْدَ السِّدْرَةِ وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طَرَفِ الْقَرْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ حَذْوَهَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَ نَخِبًا بِبَصَرِهِ يَعْنِي وَادِيًا وَقَفَ حَتَّى اتَّفَقَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ صَيْدَ وَجٍّ وَعِضَاهَهُ حَرَمٌ مُحَرَّمٌ لِلَّهِ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ نُزُولِهِ الطَّائِفَ وَحِصَارِهِ ثَقِيفَ‏.‏

Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 7, Hadith 12

 
The above hadith is from the Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal collection of hadiths. The Musnad of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal is a foundational work in Islamic hadith literature, highly valued for its comprehensive nature. Its most defining feature is its organizational method; it categorizes hadiths based on the companion of the Prophet who first reported them, with a dedicated section for each. This structure provides a unique window into the practices and sayings of the Prophet as witnessed and related by his diverse companions. Although the Musnad is held in extremely high regard and contains many authentic narrations, it is important to note that, due to its encyclopedic aim of collecting available reports, it also contains some hadiths with weaker chains of transmission that are subject to scholarly scrutiny.
