Concerning the report of Abu Juhaifah: it is recorded in the two Sahihs, has already been cited, and will be mentioned again in the chapter “Dress during Prayer.” (1) The verb *yaʿridu* may be read with a fatha on the ya and a kasra on the ra; another reading has a damma on the ya and a shadda on the ra. It means that he positioned it crosswise between himself and the qiblah. The wording shows that it is permissible to pray toward an animal and to pray near a camel, unlike praying in the camels’ pens (*aʿtan al-ibil*), which is disliked on account of authentic hadiths forbidding it; see al-Nawawi, Sharh Muslim. (2) Reported by Bukhari (no. 459), al-Bayhaqi (2:269), and Ahmad (2:129) from Nafiʿ, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ: “He would set his mount crosswise and pray toward it.” I asked, “What if the riding animals move on?” He replied, “He would take the saddle, straighten it, and pray toward its rear end”—or he said, “its back.” Ibn ʿUmar used to do likewise. This is Bukhari’s wording. Muslim (2:55) records the narration without the exchange beginning “I asked…,” and Ahmad does so as well (2:3, 141). Abu Dawud (1:110), al-Tirmidhi (2:183), and al-Darimi (1:328) transmit it with the wording, “He would pray facing his camel,” a wording also found in Muslim, Ahmad (2:26), and Ibn Khuzaymah (1/92/2 = 2/10/802). (3) I.e., their kneeling places. (4) Reported by Bukhari and Ahmad.
