ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ ، عَنِ
الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَلْفَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَأَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ حَدِيثًا لَا أُحَدِّثُ بِهِ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ ، وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ مَا اسْتَتَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحَاجَتِهِ هَدَفًا أَوْ حَائِشَ نَخْلٍ ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ حَائِطًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ الأَنْصَارِ فَإِذَا جَمَلٌ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَنَّ وَذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَ ذِفْرَاهُ فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَ : مَنْ رَبُّ هَذَا الْجَمَلِ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْجَمَلُ ؟ فَجَاءَ فَتًى مِنْ الأَنْصَارِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : "أَفَلَا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهِيمَةِ الَّتِي مَلَّكَكَ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهَا فَإِنَّهُ شَكَى إِلَيَّ أَنَّكَ تُجِيعُهُ وَتُدْئِبُهُ " .
Abd Allaah bin Jafar said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ seated me behind him (on his ride) one day, and told me secretly a thing asking me not to tell it to anyone. The place for easing dearer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a mound or host of palm trees by which he could conceal himself. He entered the garden of a man from the Ansar (Helpers). All of a sudden when a Camel saw the Prophet ﷺ it wept tenderly producing yearning sound and it eyes flowed. The Prophet ﷺ came to it and wiped the temple of its head. So it kept silence. He then said “Who is the master of this Camel? Whose Camel is this? A young man from the Ansar came and said “This is mine, Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ” He said “Don’t you fear Allaah about this beast which Allaah has given in your possession. It has complained to me that you keep it hungry and load it heavily which fatigues it. ”
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The camel recognizing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and complaining to him about its owner in its own manner is a miracle of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
➋
One should only make an animal work to the extent of its strength and capacity. Overburdening it and then not serving it is forbidden (haram). The same ruling applies to a servant.

Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
The Miracles of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
Allah, the Exalted, sent His final Messenger, the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, with countless miracles, for example:
The Noble Qur’an
Truthful prophecies about the future, such as a great fire emerging from Hijaz, the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir and Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhuma, etc. For details, see the famous book of Imam Bayhaqi rahimahullah: Dala’il al-Nubuwwah [6 / 312۔ 552]
The splitting of the moon into two parts.
A spring of water gushing forth from the fingers of his blessed hand.
The crying of the date-palm trunk at his separation.
The entirety of his life sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being pure and spotless, which even the disbelievers acknowledged.
His presenting the complete and comprehensive religion of Islam in every respect, despite being an unlettered Prophet (Nabi Ummi).
Being mustajab al-da‘awat (one whose supplications are always answered), with every supplication being accepted.
The religion of Islam always prevailing over all other religions in terms of the strength of its evidences.
Speech of mute animals with him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, for example:
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja‘far radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam entered the garden of an Ansari, where there was a camel. When it saw the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it made a plaintive sound and tears began to flow from its eyes. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam approached it, placed his hand on its head, and it became quiet.
Then he asked: Who is the owner of this camel? Whose camel is this? An Ansari youth came and said: O Messenger of Allah! This is my camel. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
«أفلا تتقي الله فى هٰذه البهيمة التى ملكك الله إياها؟ فإنه شكا إليّ أنك تجيعه و تدئبه .»
Do you not fear Allah regarding this animal over which Allah has made you its owner? It (the camel) has complained to me that you keep it hungry and always make it work.
[سنن ابي داود: 2549 وسنده صحيح واصله فى صحيح مسلم: 342]
Besides these, there are many other miracles of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, such as blessings in food due to him, etc.
