From a question a Christianity.SE, How did St John of Damascus view Islam?How did St John of Damascus view Islam?, we have the following snippet:

The writing of St. John of Damascus basically runs like this: ... 6. He proceeds to make fun of some strange additional books written by Mohammed especially the first about a Camel that went to heaven -- Mike

Firstly, I've never heard of such a story (neither, it seems, has Bing muhammad camel heaven).

This also strikes me as odd because, as far as I know, the Prophet Muhammed was illiterate. (See: Was the prophet illiterate? and https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/28370.) However, it's possible that "written" here may not literally mean writing (e.g., it could be an oral tradition).

Question: Did Muhammad write a book about a camel going to heaven? Is anything like this plausible?

E.g. perhaps before his prophethood, e.g. childhood, he might have written some stories.
