مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 97
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was called al-ʿAḍbāʾ, and she was never outrun in a race. Then a Bedouin came upon a young camel and outran her. This distressed the Muslims greatly. When the Prophet ﷺ perceived this in their expressions, they said: “O Messenger of Allah, al-ʿAḍbāʾ has been beaten!” He said: “It is Allah’s right that nothing of this world is raised except that He brings it down again.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 97
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَتْ نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُسَمَّى الْعَضْبَاءَ، وَكَانَتْ لَا تُسْبَقُ، فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ فَسَبَقَهَا، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، سُبِقَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ. فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ».
