Hadith 11515

عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ قَالَتْ إِنِّي لَآخِذَةٌ بِزِمَامِ الْعَضْبَاءِ نَاقَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَائِدَةُ كُلُّهَا فَكَادَتْ مِنْ ثَقْلِهَا تَدُقُّ بِعَضُدِ النَّاقَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Asma bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I was holding the reins of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) camel, Al-Adhba, when Surah Al-Ma'idah was revealed to him. Due to the weight of this revelation, it was as if the camel’s arm was about to break.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of "Adhba’" is a she-camel whose ears are cut. However, the ears of the she-camel of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were not cut; it is just that, for some reason, this name continued to be transmitted for this she-camel. Some scholars have said that it is possible that the ears of this she-camel were indeed cut.

At the time of the descent of revelation (wahy), a burden would be felt upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. If he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was mounted on a riding animal, or if his weight was upon a person, they too would feel this burden. The statement of Allah, the Exalted, is: {اِنَّا سَنُلْقِیْ عَلَیْکَ قَوْلًا ثَـقِیْلًا} … "Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word." (Surah al-Muzzammil: 5)
