3618. It was narrated that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a she-camel called Al-'Aqba' 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: 'O Messenger of Allah, Al-'Aqba' has been beaten.' He said: 'It is a right upon Allah that nothing is raised in this world except He lowers it.'" (Sahih)
٣٥٨٨ - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «كَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّى الْعَضْبَاءَ لَا تُسْبَقُ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ فَسَبَقَهَا، فَشَقَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، سُبِقَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ قَالَ: إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْتَفِعَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ».

1. 'Al-'Adhaba' lexically means 'had her ear slit'. But the Prophet's ﷺ she-camel did not have a slit ear. On the contrary, 'Adba' was her informal name. Her ears might probably have been smaller, and she was called Al-'Adba' because of that. 2. 'He lowers it': This is because 'all that lives on earth perishes'. Everything that belongs to the world is bound to perish. It is, therefore, not possible for anything to stay permanently in the state of ascendancy. Every young one has to turn old; every powerful one has to become weak. And every swift one has to turn slow down. Except what Allah wills!
