Sunan Abi Dawud 4802 (Book 43, Hadith 30) #25093
Accepting Allah's Right

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad's she-camel was outstripped by an Arab's young riding camel, but the Prophet accepted it as Allah's right to lower anything that is exalted in the world.

Anas said: The she-camel of the Messenger of Allah 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 , but he said: It is Allah’s right that nothing should become exalted in the world but he lowers it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ كَانَتِ الْعَضْبَاءُ لاَ تُسْبَقُ فَجَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ عَلَى قَعُودٍ لَهُ فَسَابَقَهَا فَسَبَقَهَا الأَعْرَابِيُّ فَكَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ شَقَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لاَ يَرْفَعَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ وَضَعَهُ
