Surely Allah (I seek protection in Allah) will descend on the back of a camel

Hadith No: 1
Narrations of the Camel with Sources from the People of the Generality and Knowledge (And for the sake of honesty and fairness: all of them are weak and also fabricated).

5209 - .... He said: And Umar ibn Dawud ibn Sulayman said: Muhammad ibn Ubaydullah al-Rifa'i narrated to us, Ali ibn Mansur ibn Muhammad al-Naysaburi narrated to us, Hasan ibn Ghalib narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Lahai'a, from Yunus ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Yahya ibn Ubad, from Ubad from Asma who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "I saw my Lord on the Day of Arafah at Arafat on a red camel with two shawls, and He was saying, 'I have become generous, I have accepted, I have forgiven, except for injustices.' Then, when it was the night of Muzdalifah, He would not ascend to the heavens until, when they stood at al-Mash'ar, He said, 'Except for injustices,' then He would ascend to the heavens and the people would return to Mina." Abu Bakr al-Khatib wrote down these two from Abu Ali al-Ahwazi, expressing astonishment at their rejection, and both are false.

- .... Abu Ali al-Ahwazi said, and Umar ibn Dawud ibn Salmun narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Rifai narrated to us, saying: Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Naysaburi narrated to us, saying: Husayn ibn Ghalib narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Lahiyah, from Yunus ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Yahya ibn Ibadah from Asma who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "I saw my Lord, Mighty and Majestic be He, on a red camel, dressed in a waistcloth, saying: 'I have become generous, I have forgiven, except for injustices (maẓālim). When it is the night of Muzdalifah, He will not ascend to the lowest heaven, and the people will return to Meena.'"
- .... And in another wording: "He will descend to the lowest heaven, then the doors of heaven and earth will be opened, and [He will sit] with the angels." This is a narration in which no one can doubt that it is fabricated and impossible, and its impossibility does not require an examination of its narrators, for even if it were narrated by trustworthy ones, it would be rejected, and the Messenger is above being reported to say anything about Allah, Mighty and Majestic be He, that is impossible for Him. Moreover, most of its narrators are unknown, and there are weak ones among them. Muhammad ibn Nasir informed us that Yahya Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Mundah said: "The narration of the camel is false, fabricated upon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)."

164 - Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Yazdad ibn Hormuz, the teacher Abu Ali al-Ahwazi, the Quranic reciter, resident of Damascus .... And Abu Tahir al-Hanai narrated to us, as did al-Ahwazi, from Abu Hafs ibn Salamun, from Amr ibn Uthman, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Isfahani, from Shu'b ibn Bayan al-Saffar, from 'Imran al-Qattan, from Qatadah from Anas: who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, "When it is Friday, Allah descends to the Qibla of every believer, facing them. And when the imam finishes the prayer, He ascends to the heavens." And narrating this, he cited Amr ibn Salamun with a chain he mentioned from Asma' raised (mursala): "I saw my Lord at Arafat on a red camel, wearing a waist wrap." And these two, by Allah, are fabricated, and a single sophist is enough to cast doubt on the authenticity of these reports.

1005 - Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Yazda, the master Abu Ali al-Ahwazi al-Muqri' .... Among the narrations he reported on attributes is that Abu Hafs ibn Salmun narrated to us, saying: Amr ibn Uthman narrated to us, saying: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Isfahani narrated to us, saying: Shu'ayb ibn Bayan al-Saffar narrated to us, saying: Imran al-Qattan narrated to us from Qatadah from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) marfu', that he said: "When Friday comes, Allah descends between the call to prayer and the establishment of prayer on Him, wearing a cloak written on it: 'Indeed, I am Allah, there is no deity except Me.' He stands in the qiblah of every believer, turning to them, and when the imam gives salam, He ascends to heaven." And Ibn Salmun narrated with his own chain: "I saw my Lord at Arafat on a red camel, wearing a rida."
