Musnad Ahmad 25169

Translation

✧ The family of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a wild beast. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, it would become lively and play and go back and forth. When it sensed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had entered, it would lie down and keep still, disliking to harm him.
