4802. It was narrated from Humaid, from Thâbit, that Anas said: "Al-Aḏbā' (a she-camel belonging to the Prophet ﷺ) was never beaten in a race, then a Bedouin came on a young riding camel of his and the Bedouin beat her (in a race). It was as if that upset the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and he said: 'It is a right upon Allāh that He does not exalt something in this world but He lowers it.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
4802 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، 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 اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ»
