[Machine] A stray orphaned camel from the Ansar came to us, but we couldn't catch it. So we went to the Messenger of Allah and told him about it. He got up with us until we reached the wall where the camel was. When the Messenger of Allah saw the camel, he approached it and even prostrated to it. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you had ordered us to prostrate to you as kings are prostrated to, we would have done it." He said, "That is not from the guidance of my Ummah. If I were to command anyone to prostrate to another, I would have commanded the wives to prostrate to their husbands."
شَرَدَ عَلَيْنَا بَعِيرٌ لِيَتِيمٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَى أَخْذِهِ فَجِئْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَامَ مَعَنَا حَتَّى جِئْنَا الْحَائِطَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْبَعِيرُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْبَعِيرُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى سَجَدَ لَهُ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ كَمَا يُسْجَدُ لِلْمُلُوكِ قَالَ «لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ فِي أُمَّتِي لَوْ كُنْتُ فَاعِلًا لَأَمَرْتُ النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَسْجُدْنَ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ»
