The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) was asked about saying prayer at places where the camels kneel down. He replied; Do not say prayer at places where the camels kneel down because they are the places of devils. And he was asked about saying prayer in the fold of sheep. He replied: pray there because they are the places of blessing. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 493)   

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي مَبَارِكِ الْإِبِلِ فَقَالَ لَا تُصَلُّوا فِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ صَلُّوا فِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا بَرَكَةٌ حَدِيثُهُمَا سَوَاءٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Pray in the pens of sheep, and do not pray in the resting places of camels, for they were created from the devils."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلُّوا فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ وَلَا تُصَلُّوا فِي أَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ فَإِنَّهَا خُلِقَتْ مِنَ الشَّيَاطِينِ كَذَا  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "When the prayer time comes and you are in the pastures with your sheep, then pray in them, for indeed they are tranquility and blessings. And when the prayer time comes and you are in the camels' grazing area, then move away from them and pray, for indeed they belong to a kind of jinn that was created. Don't you see how they move their necks when they are driven away? Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, mentioned in the narration of Abu Sa'id, and in the saying of the Prophet ﷺ , 'Do not pray in the camels' grazing area, for they belong to a kind of jinn that was created.' This is evidence that he prohibited it, as he said when he woke up from sleep and missed the prayer, 'Take us out of this valley, for indeed there is a devil in it and he hates that we pray near a devil.' He also hates that they pray near the camels, because they were created from jinn, not because they are impure in their designated place. And he said about sheep, 'They are from the animals of Paradise.' As for the hadith about sleeping and missing the prayer, it has already been covered, and as for his hadith about sheep..."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَدْرَكَتْكُمُ الصَّلَاةُ وَأَنْتُمْ فِي مُرَاحِ الْغَنَمِ فَصَلُّوا فِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا سَكِينَةٌ وَبَرَكَةٌ وَإِذَا أَدْرَكَتْكُمُ الصَّلَاةُ وَأَنْتُمْ فِي أَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فَصَلُّوا فَإِنَّهَا جِنٌّ مِنْ جِنٍّ خُلِقَتْ أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّهَا إِذَا نَفَرَتْ كَيْفَ تَشْمَخُ بِأَنْفِهَا؟ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَفِي قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَا تُصَلُّوا فِي أَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ؛ فَإِنَّهَا جِنٌّ مِنْ جِنٍّ خُلِقَتْ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا نَهَى عَنْهَا كَمَا قَالَ حِينَ نَامَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ اخْرُجُوا بِنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَادِي؛ فَإِنَّهُ وَادٍ بِهِ شَيْطَانٌ فَكَرِهَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ قُرْبَ شَيْطَانٍ وَكَذَا كَرِهَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ قُرْبَ الْإِبِلِ؛ لِأَنَّهَا خُلِقَتْ مِنْ جِنٍّ لَا لِنَجَاسَةِ مَوْضِعِهَا وَقَالَ فِي الْغَنَمِ هِيَ مِنْ دَوَابِّ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ فِي النَّوْمِ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَدْ مَضَى وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُهُ فِي الْغَنَمِ  

[Machine] From the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , and narrated by Humaid ibn Malik, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said it is attributed to him but it is more accurate to say it is attributed to someone else, and we have also heard it from another source as being attributed to someone else.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَرَوَاهُ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ مَوْقُوفًا عَلَيْهِ وَقِيلَ مَرْفُوعًا وَالْمَوْقُوفُ أَصَحُّ وَرُوِّينَاهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ مَرْفُوعًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, sheep are among the creatures of Paradise, so wipe their droppings and pray in their resting places."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْغَنَمَ مِنْ دَوَابِّ الْجَنَّةِ فَامْسَحُوا رُغَامَهَا وَصَلُّوا فِي مَرَابِضِهَا  

[Machine] We performed the obligatory prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he folded his hands during the prayer. When he finished the prayer, we said, "O Messenger of Allah, did something new happen in the prayer?" He said, "No, except that Shaytan wanted to pass between my hands, so I choked him until I could feel the coldness of his tongue on my hand. By Allah, if my brother Sulaiman had not preceded me in doing this, I would have tied him to one of the pillars of the Masjid until the children of Madinah circled around him." This incident has passed in the narration of Abu Hurairah, Ibn Mas'ood, and Abu ad-Darda.  

صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً مَكْتُوبَةً فَضَمَّ يَدَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَحْدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدِيَّ فَخَنَقْتُهُ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ لِسَانِهِ عَلَى يَدِيَّ وَايْمُ اللهِ لَوْلَا مَا سَبَقَنِي إِلَيْهِ أَخِي سُلَيْمَانُ لَارْتُبِطَ إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يُطِيفَ بِهِ وَلَدَانُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَدْ مَضَى مَعْنَى هَذَا فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ performed prayer on a camel.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى إِلَى بَعِيرٍ
