[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: Once, while an Arab man was tending to his flock of sheep near the outskirts of Medina, a wolf attacked and took one of his sheep. The Arab man managed to chase the wolf away and save the sheep, but the wolf looked back at him and growled, as if speaking to him. The man was taken aback by this and said, "You took the sustenance that Allah provided for me." The wolf replied, "By Allah, you are leaving something even more amazing than that." The man asked, "And what could be more amazing than that?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "In the date palm trees between the two boundary walls, he tells people of what has passed and what is to come." Upon hearing this, the Arab man abandoned his flock in the outskirts of the city and rushed to meet the Prophet ﷺ. He knocked on the Prophet's door and, upon finding the Prophet ﷺ praying, he waited for him to finish. After the prayer, the Prophet ﷺ asked, "Where is the Arab man with his sheep?" The man stood up and the Prophet ﷺ told him, "Inform the people of what you have heard and seen." The Arab man then went and told the people about what he witnessed with the wolf. The Prophet ﷺ said, "At that moment, the signs preceding the Day of Judgment are true. I swear by the One who holds my life in His hand, the Day of Judgment will not come until a person from among you will inform his shoes, whip, or stick about what his family has done after him."
