4-106 Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Musa - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Aba Abdullah al-Kufy quoted Salih ibn Abi Himad, on the authority of Isma’il ibn Mihran, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Amr ibn Abil Miqdam, on the authority of Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “
Sheep are profitable whether they face you or turn around . Cows are also profitable whether they face you or turn around. However, camels are from the regions of the satans. They cause a loss whether they face you or turn around. They have no use except for their unfortunate owners who worry that they may get harmed.’ The Prophet (MGB) was asked, ‘O Prophet of God! Who should then raise camels?’ The Prophet (MGB) replied, ‘Unfortunate owners!’”Salih ibn Abi Himad added, ‘And then Isma’il ibn Mihran recited a poem in this respect.’”

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: الغنم إذا أقبلت أقبلت وإذا أدبرت أقبلت، والبقر إذا أقبلت أقبلت وإذا أدبرت أدبرت، والابل أعنان الشياطين إذا أقبلت أدبرت وإذا أدبرت أدبرت، ولا يجئ خيرها إلا من الجانب الاشأم، قيل: يا رسول الله فمن يتخذها بعد ذا؟ قال: فأين الاشقياء الفجرةقال صالح: وأنشد إسماعيل بن مهران :هي المال لولا قلة الخفض حولهافمن شاء داراها ومن شاء باعها
