[Machine] Vol. 1, Book 4, Hadith 192

On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ it is narrated that he was asked about praying in the sleeping places of sheep, so he permitted it. He was asked about praying in the sleeping places of camels, so he forbade it. And he was asked about making ablution with the meat of sheep, so he said, "If you like, make ablution with it, and if you prefer, then do not."  

ابن حبّان:١١٢٦أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ثَوْرِ بْنَ عِكْرِمَةَ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي مَبَاتِ الْغَنَمِ فَرَخَّصَ فِيهَا وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي مَبَاتِ الْإِبِلِ فَنَهَى عَنْهَا وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ «إِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا تَتَوَضَّأْ»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about performing ablution after eating the flesh of the camel. He replied: Perform ablution, after eating it. He was asked about performing ablution after eating meat. He replied: Do not perform ablution after eating it. He was asked about saying prayer in places where the camels lie down. He replied: Do not offer prayer in places where the camels lie down. These are the places of Satan. He was asked about saying prayer in the sheepfolds. He replied: You may offer prayer in such places; these are the places of blessing. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 184)
