How was the beast cursed by Allah, even though it was the woman who cursed it, and does that mean the prayer was answered, and what does the curse on the beast mean, and was the sending of the she-camel a punishment for the woman?

The about the woman and the riding animal is authentic and indicates the prohibition of cursing animals. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded that whatever was on the she-camel be taken off and the animal be left because it was cursed. The prohibition here is specific to its accompanying the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on his journey. The hadith also conveys a general admonition against cursing, because cursing is expulsion and banishment from good, and an animal is not worthy of it, so the curse returns to the one who uttered it. Therefore, a Muslim should not accustom their tongue to foul language.
