قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شِمْرِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ أَوْ مُزَيْنَةَ - ؓ قَالَ:
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ، فَرَأَى قَرِيبًا مِنْ مِائَةِ ذِئْبٍ قَدْ أَقْعَيْنَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: هَؤُلَاءِ وُفُودُ الذِّئَابِ، تَسْأَلُكُمْ أَنْ تَرْضَخُوا مِنْ فُضُولِ طَعَامِكُمْ، وَتَأْمَنُونَ عَلَى مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ، فَشَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ ﷺ الْحَاجَةَ، قَالَ: فَأْذَنُوهُنَّ، قَالَ: فَأَذِنُوهُنَّ، وَلَهُنَّ عُوَاءٌ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the dawn prayer, then he saw nearly a hundred wolves sitting on their haunches. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'These are delegations of wolves; they ask you to give them some of your surplus food, and they will guarantee you safety regarding everything else.' They complained to him ﷺ of need. He said: 'Give them permission.' He said: 'So they gave them permission, and they howled.'
