أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ :
" بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ رَاكِبٌ عَلَى بَقَرَةٍ ، الْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي لَمْ أُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا ، إِنَّمَا خُلِقْتُ لِلْحِرَاثَةِ ، قَالَ : فَآمَنْتُ بِهِ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ ، قَالَ : وَأَخَذَ الذِّئْبُ شَاةً فَتَبِعَهَا الرَّاعِي ، فَقَالَ الذِّئْبُ : مَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ ، يَوْمَ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا غَيْرِي ؟ قَالَ : فَآمَنْتُ بِهِ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ : وَمَا هُمَا يَوْمَئِذٍ فِي الْقَوْمِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man was driving a bull along the road. On the way, he mounted it and started beating it. The bull, by the power of Allah, spoke and said: "We have not been created for this purpose; we have been created for plowing." The people said, "Glory be to Allah! Do bulls ever speak?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I, Abu Bakr, and Umar believe in this." Then he said: "A man was among his flock of goats when a wolf attacked the flock and snatched away a goat. The man chased after the wolf (and after going some distance, caught up with it and rescued his goat). Seeing this, the wolf, by the power of Allah, spoke and said: 'O so-and-so! Today you have rescued this goat from me, but who will rescue it on the day when I will be its only shepherd?' The people said, 'Glory be to Allah! Does a wolf also speak?' The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'But I, Abu Bakr, and Umar believe in this, even though both of them were not present in that gathering.'"
