Take precautionary measures against spreading diseases among animals

This hadith emphasizes the importance of taking precautions to avoid spreading diseases. It is narrated by Abu Huraira that Prophet Muhammad said, “No 'Adwa” which means no contagion or transmission of disease from one animal to another. He also said that it is important to keep healthy animals away from those suffering from a disease in order to prevent them from getting infected as well. A bedouin then asked how this could be possible when camels on sand look like deer and when a mangy camel mixes with them, they all get infected with mange? To this, Prophet Muhammad replied that who conveyed the disease to the first camel? This shows us that we should take precautionary measures even if it seems impossible for a disease to spread because we do not know how it was transmitted in the first place.
