Hadith text: Unload it and set it free, for it is cursed

عن عمران بن الحصين رضي الله عنهما ، قال: بينما رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بعض أَسْفَارِه، وامرأة من الأنصار على ناقة، فضَجِرَتْ فلَعَنَتْهَا، فسمع ذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: «خُذُوا ما عليها ودَعُوهَا؛ فإنها مَلْعُونَةٌ»، قال عمران: فكَأَنِّي أراها الآن تمشي في الناس ما يَعْرِضُ لها أحد".

Explanation of the hadith: Unload it and set it free, for it is cursed

‘Imrān ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a woman from the Ansār was riding her she-camel. She became displeased with it and started to curse it. Hearing her curse of the she-camel, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that it should be unloaded of her luggage and set free, for it was cursed. ‘Imrān (may Allah be pleased with him) added: I saw that she-camel walking amongst the people and no one showing any concern for it. This is because the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that it should be released.
