أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكَّارِ بْنِ بِلَالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُمَيْعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَقَرَةً أَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَبَهَا فَأَقْبَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَتْ إِنَّا لَمْ نُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا إِنَّمَا خُلِقْنَا لِلْحِرَاثَةِ فَقَالَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ تَكَلَّمَتْ بَقَرَةٌ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَإِنِّي آمَنْتُ بِهِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَلَيْسَ هُمَا ثَمَّ» وَقَالَ رَجُلٌ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي غَنَمٍ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ ذِئْبٌ فَأَخَذَ شَاةً فَطَلَبْتُهَا فَأَخَذْتُهَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لِي «كَيْفَ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ حِينَ لَا يَكُونُ لَهَا رَاعٍ غَيْرِي» قَالُوا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ تَكَلَّمَ ذِئْبٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَإِنِّي آمَنْتُ بِهِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَلَيْسَا ثَمَّ»

✧ The Prophet ﷺ turned to the people and said: "While a man was driving a cow, he wanted to ride it, and it turned to him and said: 'We were not created for this; we were only created for plowing.' Those around him said: 'Glory be to Allah! A cow spoke?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed I believe in it, and Abu Bakr and 'Umar, though they are not there.' And a man said: 'While I was among my sheep, a wolf came and took a sheep. I pursued it and retrieved it from him, and it said to me: "How will it be for her on the day of the predator, when she will have no shepherd but me?"' They said: 'Glory be to Allah! A wolf spoke?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed I believe in it, and Abu Bakr and 'Umar, though they are not there.'"
