(9) باب فِي كَرَاهِيَةِ الرِّفْعَةِ فِي الأُمُورِ
Anas said:
The she-camel of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called al-Adba' had not been outstripped by another, but an A`rabi (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.
