[6183] 13 - (2388) Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'While a man was driving a cow of his, on which he was carrying a load, the cow turned to him and said: I was not created for this; rather I was created for ploughing.' The people said: 'Subhân Allâh!' And they were amazed and alarmed at the idea of a cow talking. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I believe it and so do Abû Bakr and 'Umar.'" Abû Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'While a shepherd was tending his flock, the wolf attacked and caught a sheep. The shepherd chased him until he rescued the sheep from him, and the wolf turned to him and said to him: Who will protect it on the day of the wild beast, when there is no shepherd but me? The people said: 'Subhân Allâh!' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I believe it, and so do Abû Bakr and 'Umar.'"

13 - (2388) حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ، وَحَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَقَرَةً لَهُ، قَدْ حَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا، الْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْبَقَرَةُ فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي لَمْ أُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا، وَلَكِنِّي إِنَّمَا خُلِقْتُ لِلْحَرْثِ " فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ تَعَجُّبًا وَفَزَعًا، أَبَقَرَةٌ تَكَلَّمُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِهِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَعُمَرُ» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "بَيْنَا رَاعٍ فِي غَنَمِهِ، عَدَا عَلَيْهِ الذِّئْبُ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا شَاةً، فَطَلَبَهُ الرَّاعِي حَتَّى اسْتَنْقَذَهَا مِنْهُ، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ الذِّئْبُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: مَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ، يَوْمَ لَيْسَ لَهَا رَاعٍ غَيْرِي؟ " فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِذَلِكَ، أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ»
