Sahih Muslim Book - 53, Hadith - 7515

سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى غَزْوَةِ بَطْنِ بُوَاطٍ وَهُوَ يَطْلُبُ الْمَجْدِىَّ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْجُهَنِىَّ وَكَانَ النَّاضِحُ يَعْتَقِبُهُ مِنَّا الْخَمْسَةُ وَالسِّتَّةُ وَالسَّبْعَةُ فَدَارَتْ عُقْبَةُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَلَى نَاضِحٍ لَهُ فَأَنَاخَهُ فَرَكِبَهُ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ فَتَلَدَّنَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضَ التَّلَدُّنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ شَأْ لَعَنَكَ اللَّهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « مَنْ هَذَا اللاَّعِنُ بَعِيرَهُ ». قَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ « انْزِلْ عَنْهُ فَلاَ تَصْحَبْنَا بِمَلْعُونٍ لاَ تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلاَ تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَوْلاَدِكُمْ وَلاَ تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَمْوَالِكُمْ لاَ تُوَافِقُوا مِنَ اللَّهِ سَاعَةً يُسْأَلُ فِيهَا عَطَاءٌ فَيَسْتَجِيبُ لَكُمْ ».

(Jabir continued :) "'We traveled with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) on the campaign to Batn Buwat, and he was pursuing Al-Majdi bin 'Amr Al-Juhani. There were five, or six, or seven of us riding each she-camel. There came the turn of 'Uqbah, an Ansari man, to ride the she-camel. He made it kneel and mounted it, then he tried to make it stand up, but it would not stand. He rebuked it and said, "May Allah curse you.'' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Who is this who is cursing his camel?" He said: "It is me, O Messenger of Allah.'' He said: "Get down from it, for no cursed thing should accompany us. Do not pray against yourselves, do not pray against your children, and do not pray against your wealth, lest that coincide with an hour when Allah is asked and He answers your prayers.''
