56.59 The she-camel of the Prophet saws

٥٦۔٥٩ باب نَاقَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

[Machine] Ibn Umar said that the Prophet ﷺ assigned Osama to take command of the army. Al-Miswar said that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Al-Qaswa has never been neglected."

قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَرْدَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ عَلَى الْقَصْوَاءِ. وَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «مَا خَلأَتِ الْقَصْوَاءُ».

The she camel of the Prophet ﷺ was called Al-Adba.  

البخاري:٢٨٧١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَتْ نَاقَةُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُقَالُ لَهَا الْعَضْبَاءُ  

bukhari:2872Mālik b. Ismāʿīl > Zuhayr > Ḥumayd > Anas

The Prophet ﷺ had a she camel called Al Adba which could not be excelled in a race. (Humaid, a subnarrator said, "Or could hardly be excelled.") Once a bedouin came riding a camel below six years of age which surpasses it (i.e. Al-ʿAdba') in the race. The Muslims felt it so much that the Prophet ﷺ noticed their distress. He then said, "It is Allah's Law that He brings down whatever rises high in the world."  

البخاري:٢٨٧٢حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَاقَةٌ تُسَمَّى الْعَضْبَاءَ لاَ تُسْبَقُ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ أَوْ لاَ تَكَادُ تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ فَسَبَقَهَا فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى عَرَفَهُ فَقَالَ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ يَرْتَفِعَ شَىْءٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ وَضَعَهُ طَوَّلَهُ مُوسَى عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
