Sunan Abi Dawud 4998 (Book 43, Hadith 226) #25289
Gratitude for Blessings

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that one should not be ungrateful for the blessings they receive.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A man came to the Prophet and said: Messenger of Allah! give me a mount. The Prophet said: We shall give you a she-camel's child to ride on. He said: What shall I do with a she-camel's child? The Prophet replied: Do any others than she-camels give birth to camels?
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ احْمِلْنِي ‏.‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ إِنَّا حَامِلُوكَ عَلَى وَلَدِ نَاقَةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَمَا أَصْنَعُ بِوَلَدِ النَّاقَةِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ وَهَلْ تَلِدُ الإِبِلَ إِلاَّ النُّوقُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of being grateful for the blessings we receive in life. A man came to the Prophet and asked him for a mount, to which he replied by offering him a she-camel's child instead. When the man expressed his confusion, the Prophet asked if any other than she-camels give birth to camels? This was meant as a reminder that all of our blessings come from Allah and we should be thankful for them. We must remember that even if something may seem small or insignificant, it is still a blessing from Allah and should be appreciated accordingly.
