English narration
Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري
Anas said: The she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Al-Adba had not been outstripped by another, but an Arabi (a nomadic Arab) came on a young riding camel of his and it outstripped it. That distressed the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but he said: It is Allah’s right that nothing should become exalted in the world but he lowers it.
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : "
كَانَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ لَا تُسْبَقُ ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ ، فَسَابَقَهَا فَسَبَقَهَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ ، فَكَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ شَقَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ
