There is a beautiful Hadith where Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) raced his beloved wife Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) twice.
Can you share the source?
Answer:
Ummul Mu’minin Sayyidah ‘Aaishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) says, ‘I was once on a journey with Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and had a race with him. I outran Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). [After some time] when I gained some weight, I raced him again and he beat me. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, ‘This [win] is in exchange of that [defeat]’

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
