It is mentioned in the hadith (that a man cursed his she-camel, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, “Get down from it, for a cursed one should not follow us”). Does this indicate that the she-camel

The Shaykh : I mentioned that there are two hadiths similar to the story of the cursed she-camel, but one is stronger in similarity than the other. They relate to the prohibition of the gold ring, whether for a man or a woman. The story of the woman’s ring is mentioned in my book “Wedding Etiquette in the Pure Sunnah,” and it concerns the daughter of Hubayrah. This is similar to what follows, but what follows is more suitable for us than the previous story of the daughter of Hubayrah. Also, regarding the gold ring, when the Messenger (peace be upon him) saw a gold ring on a man’s finger, he struck it and rebuked him, saying what means: . So I want to say now: this is exactly like that. That is, this does not mean that this ring cannot be used, not even by its owner. Likewise, exactly, the she-camel: the fact that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed it so that it would accompany these people does not mean that it cannot be benefited from forever. As for the ring, we have another hadith that clarifies for us exactly that the man throwing the ring does not actually mean that it is not permissible for him to benefit from it, but rather that he responded to the desire of the Messenger (peace be upon him). And thus the soul of the Muslim should be at ease and content, responding to His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): . The full story of the daughter of Hubayrah is: The daughter of Hubayrah went to Fatimah, and it was Allah’s will (Mighty and Majestic) that shortly after, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would come to his daughter Fatimah and find a gold chain on her hand. He said to her (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him): يا فاطمة ، أيسرُّك أن يتحدَّث الناس فيقولوا : فاطمة بنت محمد في عنقها طوق من نار ؟! O Fatimah, would it please you that people would talk and say: Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, has a necklace of fire around her neck?! and he struck her with a severe strike. She said: “So I went and sold it.” Here is the point: “She sold it, and bought a slave with it and freed him. When the news of her deed reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: الحمد لله الذي نجَّى فاطمة من النار Praise be to Allah who saved Fatimah from the FireAs-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:138. Here, Fatimah benefited from what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had forbidden her. That man did not benefit, so his prohibition (peace be upon him) to him to use the gold ring does not mean that it is not permissible to benefit from it in one way or another. This is how we understand the matter of the cursed she-camel. Please.

The questioner : When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that she had left the she-camel, and it was permissible to benefit from it, did he not order them, just as he saw the hide of the sheep and said: هَلَّا انتَفَعْتُم بإهَابِها Why did you not benefit from its hide??

The Shaykh : This answer does not apply to the story of the man’s ring. May Allah reward you.

The questioner : When he saw the sheep, he said to them: انتفِعُوا بإهَابِها Benefit from its hide.

The Shaykh : My brother, may Allah reward you. We say: the story of the ring is the sister of your guidance. Why do you return to the sheep? There is a text regarding the sheep, and we stopped at it. But the gold ring that the man threw on the ground, saying “I do not know what Allah did with it,” why do you say what you say about the dead sheep? Why did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) not order him?

The Shaykh : Why did he not order him to take it and benefit from it, as I told you regarding Fatimah? Fatimah acted, but he did not benefit. Why did he not order him? Because, as they say, every occasion has its own speech. The matter of discipline and warning has an authority that does not respond like the case of the thrown sheep. There is no discipline there; there is a clarification of a ruling that has no relation to that warning which came from him (peace be upon him) regarding the man whom he forbade from the gold ring and who responded to him and threw it on the ground. Here, it is not appropriate to say to him, “Benefit from it.” It is enough that he does not say to him, “Do not benefit from it.” This is enough. And therefore.
