Sayyiduna Sawadah bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him (for something). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered some she-camels for me and said to me: When you reach your home, tell them to give good food to the young ones born in the spring, and also tell them to trim their nails so that they do not cause the udders of the cattle to bleed while milking.
