[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed prayer with us, then he turned towards us and said, "Amongst us is a man who was driving his cattle when it struck him. He said, 'Indeed, we were not created for this. We were only created for plowing.' The people said, 'Glory be to Allah! A cow that speaks!' He said, 'Indeed, I believe in this, as do Abu Bakr and Umar, and neither of them.' Then he mentioned a man with his sheep who was attacked by a wolf and it took one of the sheep. He ran after it and caught it and saved it from the wolf. He said, 'O you! You saved it from me. So, who will have it on the Day of Judgement when there will be no shepherd for it except me?' The people said, 'Glory be to Allah! A wolf that speaks!' He said, 'Indeed, I believe in this, as do Abu Bakr and Umar, and neither of them.'"

Once Messenger of Allah ﷺ; offered the morning prayer and then faced the people and said, "While a man was driving a cow, he suddenly rode over it and beat it. The cow said, "We have not been created for this, but we have been created for sloughing." On that the people said astonishingly, "Glorified be Allah! A cow speaks!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I believe this, and Abu Bakr and ʿUmar too, believe it, although neither of them was present there. While a person was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked and took one of the sheep. The man chased the wolf till he saved it from the wolf, where upon the wolf said, 'You have saved it from me; but who will guard it on the day of the wild beasts when there will be no shepherd to guard them except me (because of riots and afflictions)? ' " The people said surprisingly, "Glorified be Allah! A wolf speaks!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "But I believe this, and Abu Bakr and ʿUmar too, believe this, although neither of them was present there."
