English translation

2872. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ had a she-camel called Al-'Aḍbā' 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 surpassed it (i.e., Al-'Aḍbā') in the race. The Muslims felt it so much that the Prophet ﷺ noticed their distress. He then said, “It is incumbent upon Allāh (or it is Allāh's law) that He lowers or brings down whatever rises high in the world.” [See Vol. 8, Hadīth No.6501]

2872 - حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّى العَضْبَاءَ، لاَ تُسْبَقُ - قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ: أَوْ لاَ تَكَادُ تُسْبَقُ - فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ فَسَبَقَهَا، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى المُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى عَرَفَهُ، فَقَالَ: «حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ يَرْتَفِعَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ» طَوَّلَهُ مُوسَى، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
