It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The best number of camels is thirty; among them, the finest camel is ridden, its bucket is lent, the milking she-camel is given as a gift, and on the day of watering, when they are gathered in their enclosures, they are milked and (the milk is) given to the needy.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bashir Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on a journey. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent a messenger who was announcing that no necklace should be left on the neck of a camel, whether it is made of string or anything else. The narrator Ismail says: I think at that time people were at the watering places. (Musnad Ahmad: 22232)
