Fath al-Rabbani

Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, I know a stone in Makkah Mukarramah which used to greet me before my Prophethood or on the nights of Prophethood; I still recognize it.

A narration is reported from a Bedouin, who says: During the blessed life of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I brought some trade goods to Madinah Munawwarah. When I finished my business, I said: I will definitely meet this man and listen to his words. So when I met him (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him), he was walking between Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). I also started walking behind them, until they reached a Jewish man who was reading the Torah with it open and comforting himself, because his extremely handsome young son was near death. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to this Jew: I ask you by the One Who revealed the Torah, do you find mention of my attributes and my place of emergence in your book? He gestured with his head in denial, but his young son said: By the One Who revealed the Torah, we do find mention of your attributes and your place of emergence in our book, and I bear witness that Allah alone is the true deity and you are the Messenger of Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Now make these Jews stand away from their brother. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arranged for his shroud, applied fragrance to him, and performed his funeral prayer.

Ata bin Yasar says: I met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said to him: Tell me the attributes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as described in the Torah. He said: Yes, certainly. By Allah! Just as his attributes are described in the Noble Qur’an, so are they described in the Torah. As it is in the Torah: O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, a bearer of glad tidings, a warner, and a means of protection for the unlettered people. You are My servant and My messenger. I have named you “Al-Mutawakkil” (the one who relies on Allah). You are neither ill-tempered, nor harsh-natured, nor one who raises his voice in the markets, nor do you repay evil with evil, rather you forgive and pardon. Allah, the Exalted, will not cause this Prophet to die until He straightens the crooked nation through him, so that they say: “There is no god but Allah.” Thus, through him, He will open blind eyes, deaf ears, and closed hearts.

Mujahid says: An elder who had experienced the Age of Ignorance narrated to us while we were in the battle of Rodes. This elder was called Ibn ‘Abas. He said: I was driving a cow belonging to my family when I heard this voice from its belly: “O family of Dharih! This is eloquent speech; a man is proclaiming ‘La ilaha illallah’ (There is no god but Allah).” Then, when we came to Mecca, we found the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the state that he had already proclaimed prophethood in Mecca.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: A wolf attacked a goat and caught it, but the shepherd chased after it and snatched the goat from it. The wolf sat down on its tail and said: Do you not fear Allah, you snatch from me the sustenance that Allah Almighty has granted me? He said: How astonishing! This wolf, sitting on its tail, speaks to me like a human being. Then the wolf said again: Shall I not tell you something even more astonishing than this? Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has appeared in Yathrib and informs people of past events. The shepherd began to drive his goats until he entered Madinah and gathered them in a corner of Madinah, then came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the entire incident. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered, and the call for "As-Salatu Jami'ah" was made. When the people gathered, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said to the shepherd: Tell these people what happened. So he told them this incident. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is speaking the truth. By the One in whose hand is my soul! The Hour will not be established until it happens that wild beasts will speak to people, the end of a man's whip and the strap of his sandal will speak to him, and a man's thigh will inform him of what his family did after him.

(Second chain of narration) A Bedouin was grazing his goats in a corner of Madinah Munawwarah when a wolf attacked and took away one of the goats, … … , that wolf said to the Bedouin: Between the date palms and between the two Harrahs, the Messenger of Allah is present, he tells people about what has passed and about things to come, so the Bedouin called out to his goats and left them at some place in Madinah and himself went to the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and knocked at your door. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, finished the prayer, he said: Where is the Bedouin with the goats? The Bedouin stood up, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: Whatever you have heard and seen, narrate it to the people, … … .

(Third chain) A man from the tribe of Banu Aslam was driving his goats at the place of Bayda in Dhu’l-Hulayfa, when suddenly a wolf attacked and took away a goat.
