أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ
كَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّى الْعَضْبَاءَ لَا تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ فَسَبَقَهَا فَشَقَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سُبِقَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ قَالَ «إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْتَفِعَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a camel called al-ʿAdbaʾ that was never outrun. A Bedouin came on a young camel and outraced it, which distressed the Muslims. When he saw what was on their faces, they said, “O Messenger of Allah, al-ʿAdbaʾ has been outrun.” He said, “It is a right upon Allah that nothing of this world rises except that He lowers it.”
