حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ کَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّی الْعَضْبَائَ لَا تُسْبَقُ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ أَوْ لَا تَکَادُ تُسْبَقُ فَجَائَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَی قَعُودٍ فَسَبَقَهَا فَشَقَّ ذَلِکَ عَلَی الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّی عَرَفَهُ فَقَالَ حَقٌّ عَلَی اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْتَفِعَ شَيْئٌ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2872
Narrated Anas: The Prophet had a she camel called Al Adba which could not be excelled in a race. (Humaid, a subnarrator said, "Or could hardly be excelled.") Once a bedouin came riding a camel below six years of age which surpasses it (i.e. Al-`Adba') in the race. The Muslims felt it so much that the Prophet noticed their distress. He then said, "It is Allah's Law that He brings down whatever rises high in the world."
