Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37040 — Reports from our Prophet
٣٧٠٤٠ - حدثنا أبو خالد الأحمر عن حميد عن أنس أن رسول اللَّه ﷺ كانت له ناقة يقال لها (العضباء) (١) لا (تسبق) (٢)، فجاء أعرابي على قعود فسبقها فشق ⦗٢٥٧⦘ على المسلمين فقالوا: يا رسول اللَّه سُبقت (العضباء) (٣)، فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "إنه حق (أن) (٤) لا يرتفع منها شيء إلا وضعه"، -يعني الدنيا (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a she-camel called al-Adba'. She could not be overtaken. Then a Bedouin came riding a young camel and went ahead of her. This weighed heavily upon the Muslims. They said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Al-Adba' has been outrun. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed it is a truth that whatever attains elevation in this world, Allah Almighty lowers it (as well)."
