حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ
أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَكُونُ إِبِلٌ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ وَبُيُوتٌ لِلشَّيَاطِينِ ، فَأَمَّا إِبِلُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهَا يَخْرُجُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِجُنَيْبَاتٍ مَعَهُ قَدْ أَسْمَنَهَا فَلَا يَعْلُو بَعِيرًا مِنْهَا ، وَيَمُرُّ بِأَخِيهِ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ بِهِ فَلَا يَحْمِلُهُ ، وَأَمَّا بُيُوتُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فَلَمْ أَرَهَا " ، كَانَ سَعِيدٌ يَقُولُ : لَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا هَذِهِ الْأَقْفَاصُ الَّتِي يَسْتُرُ النَّاسُ بِالدِّيبَاجِ .
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying “There are Camels which belong to devils and there are houses which belong to devils. As for the Camels of the devils, I have seen them. One of you goes out with his side Camels which he has fattened neither riding any of them nor giving a lift to a tired brother when he meets. As regard the houses of the devils, I have not seen them. The narrator Saeed says “I think they are those cages (Camel litters) which conceal people with brocade. ”

Benefits and Issues:
Although this hadith is weak, nevertheless, the point that has been mentioned in it is, to a large extent, correct. And nowadays, instead of the camel of Satan, new models of various vehicles have taken its place, whose owners generally have no sense of the needs of others—except whom Allah wills. And in the true sense, the house of Satan is the cinema hall, and the corrupt hotels and lodgings that provide colorfulness and youthfulness. In fact, now due to television, internet, cable, and dish, etc., every house has become a house of Satan. Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.
