“Fa-ʿādā ʿadāʾan bayna thawrin wa-naʿjah”
The horse ran swiftly in succession between a wild bull and a female animal.
The passage evokes the horse's unusual speed and hunting ability: two prey are caught in a closely connected pursuit. Its vividness comes from speed and rarity, yet the episode is not intrinsically impossible.
It therefore exemplifies tablīgh. The decisive issue is not the number or names of the animals, but an extreme manifestation of ability that remains possible.
