Arabic text

بعض أصحابنا عن علي بن شجرة عن عمه بشير النبال عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قدم اعرابي على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فقال يا رسول الله تسابقني بناقتك هذه قال: فسابقه فسبقه الأعرابي فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: انكم رفعتموها فأحب الله ان يضعها ان الجبال تطاولت لسفينة نوح عليه السلام وكان الجودي أشد تواضعا فحط الله بها على الجودي.

Translation

13.One of our companions narrated from ʿAlī ibn Shajarah, from his uncle Bashīr al-Nabbāl, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) who said, “A bedouin approached the Prophet (ṣ) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, will you race me with this camel of yours?’ So he raced him and the bedouin won the race. The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, ‘You had all raised it (my camel) but Allah liked that He should lower it. Verily the mountains vied for the ark of Nūḥ (a), but al-Jūdī was the most humble, so Allah made the ark stop at al-Jūdī.’”
