Hadith 35833
٣٥٨٣٣ - حدثنا عبد الوهاب الثقفي عن حميد عن أنس قال: كانت ناقةٌ لرسول اللَّه ﷺ تسمى العضباء، فكانت لا تسبق، فجاء أعرابي على قعود له فسبقها، فشق ذلك على المسلمين فلما رأى رسول اللَّه ﷺ ما في وجوههم قالوا: يا رسول اللَّه سبقت العضباء، فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "حق على اللَّه أن لا (يرتفع) (١) في الدنيا (شيء) (٢) إلا وضعه" (٣).
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had a she-camel named ‘Adhba’ which had never been defeated in a race. A Bedouin came and surpassed her. This was very hard on the Muslims. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the signs of displeasure on the faces of the Muslims, the people said, “O Messenger of Allah! ‘Adhba’ has been defeated.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “It is established for Allah that He does not raise anything in this world except that He then lowers it.”
