The Prophet ﷺ then mentioned camels, cattle, and sheep, stating that one of the rights of camels is that they be milked on the day they come to the watering place: when they arrive at the water they are milked, and people customarily give that milk away in charity to those present. This is among their dues, for camels are like large water-skins filled with milk. When they reach the water their udders flow; once they do, there is a generous surplus of milk, so if the poor are there it is distributed among them—this is part of their right.

He ﷺ also referred to horses, saying that they fall into three categories: a source of reward, a means of protection, and a burden of sin.

Allah knows best.
