Hadith 3618
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّى الْعَضْبَاءَ ، لَا تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ ، فَسَبَقَهَا فَشَقَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، سُبِقَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْتَفِعَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا شَيْءٌ إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ " .
´It was narrated that Anas said:` "The Messenger of Allah had a she-camel called Al-'Adba' which could not be beaten. One day a Bedouin came on a riding-camel and beat her (in a race). The Muslims were upset by that, and when he saw the expressions on their faces they said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Al-'Adba' has been beaten.' He said: 'It is a right upon Allah that nothing is raised in this world except He lowers it.'"
