حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
«بَيْنَمَا رَاعٍ فِي غَنَمِهِ، عَدَا عَلَيْهِ الذِّئْبُ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا شَاةً، فَطَلَبَهُ الرَّاعِي، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ الذِّئْبُ فَقَالَ: مَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ، يَوْمَ لَيْسَ لَهَا رَاعٍ غَيْرِي؟ وَبَيْنَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَقَرَةً قَدْ حَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَالْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي لَمْ أُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا، وَلَكِنِّي خُلِقْتُ لِلْحَرْثِ». قَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِذَلِكَ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ».

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "While a shepherd was among his sheep, a wolf attacked them and took a sheep from them. The shepherd pursued it, so the wolf turned to him and said: Who will have charge of it on the day of the wild beast, the day when it will have no shepherd other than me? And while a man was driving a cow on which he had placed a load, it turned to him and spoke to him, saying: I was not created for this; rather, I was created for plowing." The people said, "Glory be to Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said: "I believe in that, and so do Abu Bakr and Umar ibn al-Khattab ᴿᴬ."
