Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) instructed us to perform ablution after eating camel meat, and not to perform ablution after eating goat meat, and that we may pray in sheep pens but not pray in camel enclosures.

Sayyidina Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: It was asked from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him),“Should we perform prayer in the enclosures of camels?”The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied,“No.”It was asked,“Should we perform prayer in the enclosures of goats?”He replied,“Yes.”It was asked,“Should we perform ablution after eating goat meat?”The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,“No.”(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) In the question of the questioner, there is mention of performing ablution after eating camel meat and performing prayer in the enclosures of camels. The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave different answers to both. I understand that what is meant is the ablution which is done for obligatory prayer. It does not mean washing both hands. The reason is, if it meant washing both hands, then the ruling regarding camel meat and goat meat would have been the same. Previously, the ruling was that ablution would be nullified by eating something cooked on fire. This ruling was abrogated, and the ruling regarding camel meat remained as an exception. This exception was made from those things which were later declared permissible, as we have mentioned earlier.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) passed by a pot, and he ate from it a piece of meat with bone, then he performed prayer and did not renew his ablution. Imam Abu Hatim (may Allah have mercy on him) states: The statement of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that "he ate it" refers to the meat attached to the bone. Eating the bone itself is not meant. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that then he ate it, refers to the meat that was attached to the bones. Eating the bone itself is not meant.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Bread and meat were presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he ate it. Then he asked for water for ablution and performed the Zuhr prayer. Then he asked for the remaining food and ate it, then performed the Asr prayer and did not perform ablution again. I, along with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), presented myself before him, and he asked: "Is there anything (to eat)?" but nothing was found. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Where is that goat of yours which had given birth?" Then he instructed me regarding it, so I untied it and milked it, then prepared food for him. He ate it, then performed the prayer before making ablution. I, along with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), presented myself before him, and I placed a bowl in which there was bread and meat. We ate it, then performed the prayer without making ablution again. The same narration is also transmitted from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) through another chain.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ate the meat of the animal's shoulder (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) or ate the meat of the ribs, then he performed prayer and did not perform ablution again.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate meat, and with him were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Then these gentlemen stood up for prayer. They did not perform ablution again. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Then I was also with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). He ate meat, then stood up for prayer and did not perform ablution again. Then once I was also present with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He ate from a bowl and stood up to perform prayer and did not perform ablution again.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ate the meat of the shoulder and performed the prayer. He did not perform ablution again.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: The last practice transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the two types of matters is that he did not perform ablution after eating something cooked on fire. Imam Abu Hatim says: This is a brief narration which is part of a lengthy hadith; the narrator named Shu‘aib bin Abu Hamzah has summarized it. He was under the impression that this is an absolute hadith about the abrogation of the obligation of ablution after eating something cooked on fire. Whereas, in reality, this abrogates the obligation of ablution after eating something cooked on fire only in the case when that cooked thing is other than camel meat.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) eat food cooked on fire. He performed the prayer before renewing his ablution. After the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I saw Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) eat something cooked on fire, then perform the prayer before renewing his ablution. Then after Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), I saw Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) eat something cooked on fire and he did not renew his ablution and performed the prayer.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate meat. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) were with him. Then these gentlemen stood up to perform prayer and they did not perform ablution again. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once I was with Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) (this was during his caliphate), he ate food and stood up to perform prayer and did not perform ablution again. Then once I was with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) (this was during his caliphate), he ate food from a bowl and then stood up and performed prayer and did not perform ablution again.
