Imran ibn Husain said: Al-Adba' was the camel of a man from Banu Uqail, and it was one of the fastest camels of the Hajj. He was taken captive and came to the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was in shackles, and the Prophet (ﷺ) was upon a mule with a velvet sheet on it. He said, 'O Muhammad, for what are you taking me and taking the fastest camel of the Hajj?' He replied: 'We are taking you because of your allies Thaqif.' He said, and Thaqif had captured two men from the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ). He said, and among what he said was: 'And I am a Muslim,' or he said: 'And I have accepted Islam.' When the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by—Abu Dawud said: I understood this from Muhammad ibn Isa—he called out to him, 'O Muhammad, O Muhammad.' And the Prophet (ﷺ) was merciful and kind, so he returned to him and said: 'What is your matter?' He said: 'Indeed, I am a Muslim.' He said: 'If you had said that while you owned your affair, you would have attained all success.' Abu Dawud said: Then I returned to the hadith of Sulaiman. He said: 'O Muhammad, indeed I am hungry, so feed me, and indeed I am thirsty, so give me a drink.' He said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'This is your need,' or he said: 'This is his need.' He said: So the man was ransomed afterwards for the two men. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had kept Al-Adba' for his mount. He said: The polytheists raided the grazing camels of Madinah and went off with Al-Adba'. He said: When they went off with it and captured a woman from the Muslims, whenever it was night, they would rest their camels in their courtyards. He said: So they slept for a night, and the woman stood up and whenever she placed her hand on a camel, it would groan until she reached Al-Adba'. He said: She reached a docile, trained she-camel, so she mounted it and then made a vow to Allah upon it that if Allah saved her, she would slaughter it. He said: When she reached Madinah, the camel was recognized as the she-camel of the Prophet (ﷺ), and the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed of that, so he sent for it, and it was brought, and he was informed of her vow. He said: He said, 'Evil is that with which you rewarded it,' or he said, 'How she rewarded it.' He said, 'Indeed, if Allah saved her upon it, she would slaughter it. There is no fulfilling a vow in the disobedience of Allah, nor in what a son of Adam does not own.' Abu Dawud said: And this woman was the wife of Abu Dharr.
