Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
The wisdom in this prohibition is that if, by Allah’s command, the healthy camels contract the disease, then a doubt may arise in the owner’s heart that this illness was caused by grazing the healthy camels together with the sick ones or by letting them drink water with them. Therefore, for the protection of faith, one should avoid any action that may give rise to doubts contrary to the correct creed.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
Lā yuridu mumarriḍun ‘alā muṣiḥ:
Mumarriḍ,
The owner of sick camels.
(2)
Muṣiḥ:
The one who owns healthy camels,
Here, the object is omitted,
i.e., ablah:
That the owner of sick camels should not take his camels to the one who owns healthy camels.
Benefits and Issues:
There is no contradiction between these two hadiths,
As we have already explained at the beginning,
Therefore, the question of abrogation (naskh and mansukh) does not arise, and the hadith of "no contagion" (lā ‘adwā) is also transmitted from Sa’ib bin Yazid,
Jabir bin Abdullah,
Anas bin Malik, and Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhum),
Therefore, Abu Hurairah’s forgetting does not affect the authenticity of this hadith, and according to the majority of scholars, if a narrator forgets a narration, its authenticity cannot be denied, and Abu Hurairah’s forgetting one or two narrations
Does not contradict his claim that, as a result of the supplication of Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), he did not forget any hadith,
Because among thousands of hadiths, forgetting one or two narrations is not surprising,
Nor does it affect his claim.
Moreover, he later remembered them as well, because he had all his hadiths written down.
