That he designates a place for standing in prayer as a camel designates.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … These three matters are established by other evidences and narrations as well. Pecking like a crow refers to making the prostration (sujud) brief and hasty. Spreading the arms like a predatory animal refers to spreading the arms on the ground during prostration, as dogs and wolves do. Appointing a place like a camel refers to a person designating a specific spot for himself in the mosque, such that he only prays in that spot and is so particular about it that he would make someone sitting there get up.
