495 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، وَإِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ: «أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَتَوَضَّأَ، مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ، وَلَا نَتَوَضَّأَ، مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ»

Commentary
494 & 495 The previous chapter was about not performing ablution after eating meat. But all the descriptions there pertained to eating mutton. In this chapter, however, all the narrations are about performing ablution after eating camel meat. The second Hadith even brings out the different rulings for mutton and camel meat.
