Hadith 850
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، نا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَهُوَ الْحَدَّانِيُّ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ ذِئْبٌ إِلَى رَاعِي غَنَمٍ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا شَاةً فَطَلَبَهُ الرَّاعِي فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ فَصَعِدَ الذِّئْبُ عَلَى تَلٍّ فَأَقْعَى وَاسْتَنْفَرَ وَقَالَ: عَمِدْتُ إِلَى رِزْقٍ رَزَقَنِيهِ اللَّهُ أَخَذْتَهُ فَانْتَزَعْتَهُ مِنِّي، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: بِاللَّهِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ ذِئْبًا يَتَكَلَّمُ، فَقَالَ الذِّئْبُ: أَوْ أَعْجَبُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ بَيْنَ النَّخْلَاتِ بَيْنَ الْحَرَّتَيْنِ يُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا مَضَى وَمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ بَعْدَكُمْ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَهُودِيًّا، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَأَسْلَمَ فَصَدَّقَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((إِنَّهَا أَمَارَةٌ مِنْ أَمَارَاتٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ قَدْ أَوْشَكَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ فَيُحَدِّثَهُ نَعْلَاهُ وَسَوْطُهُ بِمَا أَحْدَثَ أَهْلُهُ بَعْدَهُ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A wolf came to a shepherd of sheep and seized a sheep from the flock. The shepherd chased after it and rescued the sheep from it. The wolf sat on a mound and said: I intended a provision/sustenance that Allah had granted me, but you snatched it away from me. The man said: By Allah! I have never seen a wolf speak like today. The wolf said: Is it not more astonishing that there is a man between two rocky fields, among the palm groves, who tells you about past and future events? The narrator said: That man was a Jew. He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him, then accepted Islam. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed it and said: “This is one of the signs before the occurrence of the Hour. It is near that a man will leave his house and when he returns, his shoes will inform him of what happened, and his whip will tell him what his family did after him.”
