6501. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ had a she-camel called Al-‘Aqbā’ and it was too fast to surpass in speed. There came a bedouin riding a camel of his, and that camel outstripped it (i.e., Al-‘Aqbā’). That result was hard on the Muslims who said sorrowfully, “Al-‘Aqbā’ has been outstripped.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “It is incumbent upon Allāh that nothing would be raised high in this world except that He lowers or puts it down.” [See Vol. 4, Hadith No. 2872]
6501 - حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَةٌ - قَالَ: ح وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ: أَخْبَرَنَا الفَزَارِيُّ، وَأَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: كَانَتْ نَاقَةٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُسَمَّى: العَضْبَاءَ، وَكَانَتْ لاَ تُسْبَقُ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ فَسَبَقَهَا، فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى المُسْلِمِينَ، وَقَالُوا: سُبِقَتِ العَضْبَاءُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ»
