Sunan Abi Dawud 2578 (Book 15, Hadith 102) #22869
Racing with the Prophet

SUMMARY: The Prophet and Aisha had a race, and the Prophet won when Aisha became fleshy.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: while she was on a journey along with the Messenger of Allah : I had a race with him (the Prophet) and I outstripped him on my feet. When I became fleshy, (again) I had a race with him (the Prophet) and he outstripped me. He said: This is for that outstripping.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ الأَنْطَاكِيُّ، مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، - يَعْنِي الْفَزَارِيَّ - عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَتْ فَسَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ عَلَى رِجْلَىَّ فَلَمَّا حَمَلْتُ اللَّحْمَ سَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقَنِي فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ هَذِهِ بِتِلْكَ السَّبْقَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a race between the Prophet Muhammad and his wife, Aisha. At first, she outstripped him on her feet but when she became fleshy again, he outstripped her. He then said that this was because of her previous outstripping. This hadith teaches us that we should be humble in our successes and not boast about them as it can lead to us being humbled later on. It also shows us how much love there was between the Prophet Muhammad and his wife as they were able to have fun together even while travelling for long distances. We should also strive to emulate their relationship in our own lives by showing love towards each other even during difficult times or journeys.
