حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ أَنَّ رَجُلا اسْتَحْمَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ إِنِّي حَامِلُکَ عَلَی وَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِوَلَدِ النَّاقَةِ فَقَالَ صلی الله عليه وسلم وَهَلْ تَلِدُ الإِبِلَ إِلا النُّوقُ

Anas ibn Malik radiyallahu anhu relates that a person requested Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam that he be given a conveyence. Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam replied, “The baby of a camel shall be given to you.” The person said, “What shall I do with the baby of a camel O’ Messenger of Allah?” (I want one for a conveyence). Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam replied, “Every camel is the baby of a camel.”
