3691. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, "While I was sleeping, (some) people were displayed before me (in a dream). They were wearing shirts, some of which were merely covering their (chests), and some were a bit longer. Then there passed before me 'Umar and his shirt was so long that he was dragging it." They asked, "What have you interpreted it, O Allāh's Messenger?" He said, "Religion."
3691 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ، وَعَلَيْهِمْ قُمُصٌ، فَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ الثَّدْيَ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ، وَعُرِضَ عَلَيَّ عُمَرُ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ اجْتَرَّهُ»، قَالُوا: فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «الدِّينَ»

(1) (H. 3690) It has been written that a wolf also spoke to a shepherd during the Prophet's lifetime near Al-Madīna as narrated in Musnad Imām Ahmad in the Musnad of Abu Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه (Vol. 3): Narrated Abu Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه (While a shepherd was in his herd of sheep), suddenly a wolf attacked a sheep and took it away, the shepherd chased the wolf and took back the sheep, the wolf sat on its tail and addressed the shepherd saying: "Be afraid of Allāh, you have taken the provision from me which Allāh gave me". The shepherd said: "What an amazing thing! A wolf sitting on its tail speaks to me in the language of a human being." The wolf said: "Shall I tell you something more amazing than this? There is Muḥammad, the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) in Yathrib (Al-Madīna) informing the people about the news of the past." Then the shepherd (after hearing that) proceeded (towards Al-Madīna) driving his sheep till he entered Al-Madīna, cornered his sheep in a place, and came to Allāh's Messenger (Muḥammad ﷺ) and informed the whole story. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered for the proclamation of a congregational prayer (صلاة جامعة), then he ﷺ came out and asked the shepherd to inform the people (about his story) and he informed them. Then Allāh's Messenger said: "He (the shepherd) has spoken the truth. By Him (Allāh) in Whose Hand the shoe-laces of a person speak to him and his thigh informs him about his family as to what happened to them after him. (Musnad of Ahmad, Musnad Abi Sa'īd Al-Khudrī).
