Animals testify to the prophethood of Prophet Muhammad,,(PBUH)
Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri (a Companion) narrated
that the Prophet of Al- lah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “(While a shepherd was with his herd of sheep), suddenly a wolf attacked a sheep and took it away, the shepherd chased the wolf and took back the sheep, the wolf sat on its tail and addressed the shepherd saying: ‘Fear Allah! You have taken the provision from me which Allah gave me’. The shepherd said: ‘What an amazing thing! A wolf sitting on its tail speaks to me in the language of a human being.’ The wolf replied: ‘Shall I tell you something even more amazing than this? There is the Prophet Muhammad in Madinah informing people about the news of the past.” Thus, the shepherd came to Madeenah with his sheep and placed his herd in one of the corners of Madeenah. Then he went to the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and informed him of what had taken place with his sheep and the wolf. The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, commanded that the people should gather for the congregational prayer, and then he ad- dressed the shepherd saying: “Inform them”, so he did. Thereafter, the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “I swear by The One in Whose Hand my soul is! He has told the truth. The Hour will not oc- cur until beasts speak to humans, and a man would speak to his whip and shoelace, and his thigh would tell him what his wife did in his absence.”1
