Hadith of Anas[]

Within collection 4 (Ablution)[2] of the Persian Islamic scholar, Muhammad Bukhari (d.870) , Companion Anas was the source of The Ḥadith of Camel Urine.[3][4]

Bukhari also narrated a version of this Hadith, without the mention of "urine":

Narrated Anas Ibn Malik: Some people were sick and they said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Give us shelter and food. So when they became healthy they said, "The weather of Medina is not suitable for us." So he sent them to Al-Harra with some she-camels of his and said, "Drink of their milk."
(Sahih Bukhari, 5685) [5]
