ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ على قعود له فسابقها فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم وَكَسَرَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنْ لا يُرْفَعَ شَيْءٌ في الدُّنْيَا إلاَّ وَضَعَهُ
The she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called al-Adba’ had not been outstripped by another, but an Aʿrabi (a nomadic Arab) came on a young riding camel of his and it outstripped it. That distressed the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but he said: It is Allah’s right that nothing should become exalted in the world but he lowers it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4802)
أَنَّ الْعَضْبَاءَ كَانَتْ لَا تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ فَسَابَقَهَا فَسَبَقَهَا الْأَعْرَابِيُّ فَكَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ اشْتَدَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ
[Machine] The camel of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was named al-'Adba' and it used to never be overtaken. One day, an Arab man came riding on his horse and overtook the camel. This upset the Muslims greatly, and when the Prophet saw their expressions, they said, "O Messenger of Allah, al-'Adba' has been overtaken!" He replied, "Indeed, it is a right upon Allah that He does not elevate anything of this world except that He lowers it."
كَانَتْ نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تُسَمَّى الْعَضْبَاءَ وَكَانَتْ لَا تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ فَسَبَقَهَا فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سُبِقَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ حَقًّا عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَضَعَهُ
