Is it correct to prohibit prayer in the resting places of camels because they were created from Satan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: It is mentioned in the hadith
The prohibition of praying in the resting places of camels; because they were created from Satan,النهي عن الصلاة في مبارك الإبل؛ لأنها خلقت من الشيطان،
Is this correct?

Answer:
The claim that they were created from Satan is not correct. Camels were not created from Satan. As for the prohibition of praying in their resting places, Allah knows the wisdom behind it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not explain to us what that wisdom is. This is considered an act of worship, meaning we obey the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and avoid praying in the resting places of camels, even if we do not know the wisdom behind it. Yes.
