حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ عَنْ حَفْصٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
كَانَ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ لَهُمْ جَمَلٌ يَسْنُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنَّ الْجَمَلَ اسْتُصْعِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَمَنَعَهُمْ ظَهْرَهُ، وَإِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ جَاءُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَنَا جَمَلٌ نُسْنِي عَلَيْهِ، وَإِنَّهُ اسْتُصْعِبَ عَلَيْنَا وَمَنَعَنَا ظَهْرَهُ، وَقَدْ عَطِشَ الزَّرْعُ وَالنَّخْلُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: قُومُوا، فَقَامُوا فَدَخَلَ الْحَائِطَ وَالْجَمَلُ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ، فَمَشَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ، فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ قَدْ صَارَ مِثْلَ الْكَلْبِ الْكَلِبِ، وَإِنَّا نَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ صَوْلَتَهُ، فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ بَأْسٌ، فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ الْجَمَلُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَقْبَلَ نَحْوَهُ، حَتَّى خَرَّ سَاجِدًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ أَذَلَّ مَا كَانَتْ قَطُّ، حَتَّى أَدْخَلَهُ فِي الْعَمَلِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، هَذِهِ بَهِيمَةٌ لَا تَعْقِلُ تَسْجُدُ لَكَ، وَنَحْنُ نَعْقِلُ، فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ، فَقَالَ: لَا يَصْلُحُ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ، وَلَوْ صَلَحَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا مِنْ عِظَمِ حَقِّهِ عَلَيْهَا، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ قَدَمِهِ إِلَى مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ قَرْحَةً تَنْبَجِسُ بِالْقَيْحِ وَالصَّدِيدِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ تَلْحَسُهُ مَا أَدَّتْ حَقَّهُ

✧ There was a family among the Ansar (local inhabitants of Medina) who owned a camel that they rode on. However, the camel became difficult for them to control, so they prevented it from grazing. The Ansar then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "We had a camel that we used to ride on, but it has become difficult for us to control and is causing us harm. Meanwhile, the crops and date palms are suffering from thirst." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told his companions to stand up, and they did so. He then entered the enclosure where the camel was, and it stood still in its place. The Ansar said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "O Messenger of Allah, it has become like a wild dog, and we fear for your safety from its attack." He replied, "I have no fear of it attacking me." When the camel saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, it approached him until it knelt down in prostration before him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ held its nosestring in his hand, taming it until he put it to work. His companions said to him, "O Prophet of Allah, this is an irrational animal that prostrates to you, while we are rational beings who deserve to prostrate to you." He replied, "It would not be appropriate for a human being to prostrate to another human being. And if it were appropriate for a human being to prostrate to another human being, I would have commanded a woman to prostrate to her husband due to his rights over her. By the One in whose hand is my soul, even if there were a sore that covered its body from its head to its tail, oozing with pus and septic fluid, and then it came and licked my face, it still would not fulfill its rights over me."
