Musnad Abi Ya'la 3731 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a she-camel
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَتْ لَهُ نَاقَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا : الْعَضْبَاءُ ، لَا تُسْبَقُ ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ فَسَبَقَهَا ، فَشَقَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سُبِقَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّهُ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْتَفِعَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ . يَعْنِي الدُّنْيَا .
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'", and she was never outrun (in a race). Then a Bedouin came riding a young camel of his and outran her. This was very hard on the Muslims, and they said (in distress): O Messenger of Allah, al-Adba' has been outrun! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a right upon Allah Almighty (that is, it is His unalterable law) that whatever thing of this world rises high, He brings it low."
