Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) seated me behind him on his mount, and confided to me a secret which I will not disclose to anyone. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) liked most to conceal himself for relieving himself behind a raised place (such as a wall, mound, etc.) or among a cluster of date palms. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered the garden of an Ansari man, and there was a camel there. When the camel saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), it began to moan and tears flowed from its eyes. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to it and stroked its hump and the back of its ear, and it calmed down. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who is the owner of this camel? Whose camel is this?" Then a young Ansari came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah! It is mine. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do you not fear Allah regarding this animal which Allah has made you its owner? For it has complained to me that you keep it hungry and tire it out (by overburdening it)."
