أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی عَنْ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ کَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّی الْعَضْبَائَ لَا تُسْبَقُ فَجَائَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَی قَعُودٍ فَسَبَقَهَا فَشَقَّ عَلَی الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلَمَّا رَأَی مَا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سُبِقَتْ الْعَضْبَائُ قَالَ إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَی اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْتَفِعَ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا شَيْئٌ إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3623
It was narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم had a she-camel called Al-’Adba’ which could not be beaten. One day a Bedouin came on a riding-camel and beat her (in a race). The Muslims were upset by that, and when he saw the expressions on their faces they said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, Al-’Adba’ has been beaten.’ He said: ‘It is a right upon Allah that nothing is raised in this world except He lowers it.” (Sahih)
