حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ لُوَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَوْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَتَوَضَّئُوا وَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ لَا تَتَوَضَّئُوا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نُصَلِّي فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالُوا نُصَلِّي فِي مَبَارِكِ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ لَا.

Abdullah narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn Sulayman Luwayn narrated to me: Abu Awanah narrated to us from Uthman ibn Mawhab, from Ja'far ibn Abi Thawr, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: I was sitting with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and they asked him, "Should we perform ablution from sheep meat?" He said: "If you wish, perform ablution, and if you wish, do not." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we perform ablution from camel meat?" He said: "Yes." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, may we pray in the resting-places of sheep?" He said: "Yes." They said, "May we pray in the resting-places of camels?" He said: "No."
