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 Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a she-camel named al-Adba', which had never lost a race. A Bedouin came on a young camel of his and got ahead of her, and this weighed heavily 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 (peace and blessings be upon him)! Al-Adba' has lost." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is established with Allah that nothing in this world rises but that He then lowers it."

It is narrated from Ali bin al-Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on the expedition of Tabuk.
