ذِكْرُ شَهَادَةِ الذِّئْبِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى صِدْقِ رِسَالَتِهِ

[Machine] While a shepherd was grazing his herd in the pasture, a wolf appeared and approached one of the sheep from the flock. The shepherd quickly rushed over, snatched it away from the wolf, and said to the shepherd, "Do you not fear Allah? Will you not have faith that Allah will provide for me?" The shepherd responded, "I am amazed by the wolf! It is speaking to me like a human! The wolf said to the shepherd, "Shall I not tell you something even more amazing? This is the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , between the two deserts, conveying the message of what has happened in the past." The shepherd then took his herd to the city and offered them in a corner. He then went to the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and informed him of what the wolf had said. The Messenger of Allah came out and said to the shepherd, "Get up and tell the people." The shepherd then informed the people about what the wolf had said. The Messenger of Allah then said, "The shepherd is truthful. Indeed, one of the signs of the Last Hour is that the animals will speak like humans. By the One who holds my life in His hand, the Hour will not come until the animals speak like humans, and a man speaks to his shoe and his whip, and they inform him of things that happened in his absence."  

ابن حبّان:٦٤٩٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْقَيْسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحُدَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ

بَيْنَا رَاعٍ يَرْعَى بِالْحَرَّةِ إِذْ عَرَضَ ذِئْبٌ لِشَاةٍ مِنْ شَائِهِ فَجَاءَ الرَّاعِي يَسْعَى فَانْتَزَعَهَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لِلرَّاعِي أَلَا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ تَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رِزْقٍ سَاقَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيَّ؟ قَالَ الرَّاعِي الْعَجَبُ لِلذِّئْبِ وَالذِّئْبُ مُقْعٍ عَلَى ذَنَبِهِ يُكَلِّمُنِي بِكَلَامِ الْإِنْسِ قَالَ الذِّئْبُ لِلرَّاعِي أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِأَعْجَبَ مِنْ هَذَا هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الْحَرَّتَيْنِ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ بِأَنْبَاءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ فَسَاقَ الرَّاعِي شَاءَهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَزَوَاهَا فِي زَاوِيَةٍ مِنْ زَوَايَاهَا ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا قَالَ الذِّئْبُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ لِلرَّاعِي «قُمْ فَأَخْبِرْ» فَأَخْبَرَ النَّاسَ بِمَا قَالَ الذِّئْبُ وَقَالَ ﷺ «صَدَقَ الرَّاعِي أَلَا مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ كَلَامُ السِّبَاعِ الْإِنْسَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُكَلِّمَ السِّبَاعُ الْإِنْسَ وَيُكَلِّمَ الرَّجُلُ نَعْلَهُ وَعَذَبَةَ سَوْطِهِ وَيُخْبِرَهُ فَخِذُهُ بِحَدِيثِ أَهْلِهِ بَعْدَهُ»

[Machine] The wolf went after a sheep and took it. The shepherd sought after it and snatched it from him. So the wolf fell on its tail and said, "Do you not fear Allah? You took my provision that Allah has sent to me." The shepherd said, "Oh wonder! A wolf speaking to me in human speech!" The wolf said, "Shall I not inform you of something more amazing than that? Muhammad ﷺ is in Yathrib, informing people of news that has already happened." Then the shepherd drove his sheep until they entered the town and took them to a corner of it. Then he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded the call to prayer to be made, then he went out and said to the shepherd, "Inform them." So he informed them and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He has spoken the truth, by the One in whose hand is my soul, the Hour will not be established until the beasts speak to humans, and a man's whip and his shoe inform him of what his family has done after him."

[Machine] A shepherd was grazing his flock in the pasture when a wolf attacked one of the sheep. The shepherd stood between the wolf and the sheep, and the wolf cowered with its tail between its legs. The wolf spoke to the shepherd, saying, "O Abdullah, are you standing in the way of my sustenance that Allah has provided for me?" The man marveled at the fact that a wolf was speaking to him like a human. The wolf then said, "Shall I tell you something even more amazing? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is standing between the two pastures, informing the people about what has happened before." The shepherd led his flock to a corner of the city, and then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of the incident. The Prophet ﷺ went out to the people and said, "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he has spoken the truth."
