Sahih al-Bukhari 2872

Hadith text

Narrated 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 surpassed it (i.e. Al-`Adba') 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

Anas bataate hain: Nabi ke paas ek untni thi jise Al-Adba kaha jata tha jise daud mein kabhi paar nahi kiya ja sakta tha. (Humaid, doosre raawi ne kaha, "Ya mushkil se paar kiya ja sakta tha.") Ek baar ek dehati chhah saal se kam umr ke unt par sawar hokar aaya jisne usse (yaani Al-Adba ko) daud mein paar kar diya. Musalmanon ko yeh bahut bura laga aur Nabi ne unki pareshaani mahsoos ki. Phir unhone kaha, "Yeh Allah ka qanoon hai ke jo bhi duniya mein oonchaa uthta hai, use woh neeche lata hai."
