English translation

3690. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "While a shepherd was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked them and took away one sheep. The shepherd chased it and got that sheep freed from the wolf. The wolf turned towards the shepherd and said, 'Who will be its guard on the day of wild animals when it will have no shepherd except I?'" The people said, "Glorified be Allāh." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But I believe in it and so do Abū Bakr and 'Umar," although Abū Bakr and 'Umar were not present there (at the place of the event).(1) (See H. 2324, 3471 and 3663)

3690 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ المُسَيِّبِ، وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالاَ: سَمِعْنَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَيْنَمَا رَاعٍ فِي غَنَمِهِ عَدَا الذِّئْبُ، فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا شَاةً فَطَلَبَهَا حَتَّى اسْتَنْقَذَهَا، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ الذِّئْبُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ لَيْسَ لَهَا رَاعٍ غَيْرِي "، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِهِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرُ، وَمَا ثَمَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ»
