Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَحْمَلَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّا حَامِلُوكَ عَلَى وَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَصْنَعُ بِوَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهَلْ تَلِدُ الْإِبِلَ إِلَّا النُّوقُ.
English Translation
Khalaf ibn al-Walid told us, Khalid ibn Abdullah told us, from Humayd al-Tawil, from Anas ibn Malik, that a man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and asked him for a mount. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "We will mount you on the offspring of a she-camel." He said: "O Messenger of God, what would I do with the offspring of a she-camel?" The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do camels give birth to anything but the offspring of she-camels?"
