Riyad as-Salihin, 1557
'Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey and there was a woman from the Ansar riding a she-camel. She abused and invoked curse upon it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) heard it and said, "Off load the she- camel and set it free because it has been cursed." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن عمران بن الحصين رضي الله عنه الله عنهما قال: بينما رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بعض أسفاره، وامرأة من الأنصار على ناقة، فضجرت، فلعنتها، فسمع ذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال:
خذوا ما عليها ودعوها، فإنها ملعونة
قال عمران: فكأني أراها الآن تمشي في الناس ما يَعرض لها أحد. ((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is forbidden to curse animals because they do not deserve to be cursed, and because cursing it is a form of injustice.<br>
2) The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) honored the command of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and hastened to obey his commands and avoid what he forbade. Obedience to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is the duty of the whole Muslim nation and the key to its prosperity. Allah Almighty says: {If you obey him, you will be guided}
