It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah, should I perform ablution after eating goat meat?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "If you wish, perform ablution, and if you wish, do not perform ablution." He then asked: "Should I perform ablution after eating camel meat?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Yes, perform ablution after eating camel meat." He asked: "May I pray in sheep pens?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Yes (you may pray)." He then asked: "May I pray in camel enclosures?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "No." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: We do not know of any disagreement among the scholars of Ahl al-Hadith regarding the authenticity of this narration in terms of transmission. This narration has also been reported by Ja'far bin Abu Thawr from Ash'ath bin Abu Sha'tha' al-Maharibi and Simak bin Harb. Thus, these three prominent narrators have narrated this hadith from Ja'far bin Abu Thawr. (That is, Uthman bin Abdullah, Ash'ath, and Simak have narrated this narration.)
