It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that indeed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, raced with a man and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, outran him. The Muslims were very pleased at this. Then that man said to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "O Messenger of Allah! (Let us) race again." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Yes." So he raced with him (again), and that man outran the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. This was displeasing to the Prophet and his companions. Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, it is Allah's way that whatever thing He raises in the world, He also brings it down."
