Taking care of the rest
"His humanity extended itself to the lower creation. He forbade the employment of living birds as targets for marksmen and remonstrated with those who ill-treated their camels...Foolish acts of cruelty which were connected with old superstitions were swept away by him...No more was a dead man's camel to be tied to his tomb to perish of thirst and hunger. No more was the evil eye to be propitiated by the bleeding of a certain proportion of the herd. No more was the rain to be conjured by tying burning torches to the tails of oxen;...The manes and tails of horses were not to be cut...nor were asses to be branded."
- D. S. Margoliouth of The Prophet Muhammad
