[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to perform ablution using the meat of camels and not to perform ablution using the meat of sheep. He also instructed us to pray in the places where the sheep gather and not to pray in the places where the camels gather. Abdullah narrated to us and said, "I heard Hajjaj ibn al-Sha'ir asking my father, 'Which one do you prefer, Umar the critic or Al-Mu'ayyati?' He replied, 'Umar the critic was careful to always speak the truth.'"  

أحمد:٢٠٩٧٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ السَّلُولِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي ثَوْرٍعَنْ جَدِّهِ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ وَأَنْ لَا نَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ وَأَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِي مَبَاءَةِ الْغَنَمِ وَلَا نُصَلِّيَ فِي أَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَجَّاجَ بْنَ الشَّاعِرِ يَسْأَلُ أَبِي فَقَالَ أَيُّمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ أَوِ الْمُعَيْطِيُّ؟ فَقَالَ كَانَ عُمَرٌو النَّاقِدُ يَتَحَرَّى الصِّدْقَ
