[7515] (3009) (Jabir continued:)" "We traveled with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on the campaign to Baṭn Buwât, and he was pursuing Al-Majdî bin 'Amr Al-Juhanî. There were five, or six, or seven of us riding each she-camel. There came the turn of 'Uqbah, an Anṣârî man, to ride the she-camel. He made it kneel and mounted it, then he tried to make it stand up, but it would not stand. He rebuked it and said, "May Allāh curse you." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Who is this who is cursing his camel?" He said: "It is me, O Messenger of Allâh." He said: "Get down from it, for no cursed thing should accompany us. Do not pray against yourselves, do not pray against your children, and do not pray against your wealth, lest that coincide with an hour when Allâh is asked and He answers your prayers."
