It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: A wolf attacked a goat and caught it, but the shepherd chased after it and snatched the goat from it. The wolf sat down on its tail and said: Do you not fear Allah, you snatch from me the sustenance that Allah has granted me? He said: How astonishing! This wolf, sitting on its tail, speaks to me like a human being. Then the wolf said again: Shall I tell you something even more astonishing than this? Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has appeared in Yathrib and informs people of past events. The shepherd began to drive his goats until he entered Madinah and gathered them in a corner of Madinah, then came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the entire incident. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered, and the call for "As-Salatu Jami'ah" was made. When the people gathered, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said to the shepherd: Tell these people what happened. So he told them this incident. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He is speaking the truth. By Him in Whose hand is my soul! The Hour will not be established until such a time comes that wild beasts will speak to people, the end of a man's whip and the strap of his sandal will speak to him, and a man's thigh will inform him of what his family did after him.

(Second chain) A man from the tribe of Banu Aslam was shaking down leaves from the trees for his goats at the place of Baida in Dhu’l-Hulayfa, when suddenly a wolf attacked and took away one of the goats. But the man scolded, shouted at, and threw a stone at the wolf, and rescued his goat from it. Then the wolf sat down in front of the man, placing its tail between its legs, ... ... . The same narration is mentioned further on.

Mujahid says: An old man who had experienced the Age of Ignorance narrated to us while we were at the Battle of Rudis. This old man was called Ibn ‘Abas. He said: I was driving a cow belonging to my family when I heard this voice from its belly: "O family of Dharih! This is eloquent speech; a man is proclaiming LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH." Then, when we came to Mecca, we found the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the state that he had already proclaimed prophethood in Mecca.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the mosque was made of palm trunks and branches, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray beside one of the palm trunks and would deliver the sermon standing next to it. One companion submitted: O Messenger of Allah! If you permit, we can prepare something for you upon which you can stand and deliver the Friday sermon, so that everyone can see you and you can easily make your address heard by all. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That is fine. So a pulpit with three steps was made for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the pulpit was ready and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had it placed in its spot, he passed by that trunk to go to the pulpit, and the trunk began to cry profusely until it split apart. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned to it, placed his blessed hand upon it until it became calm. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards the pulpit. Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray, he would pray near that trunk. When the mosque was demolished and its structure changed, that trunk was taken by Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him); it remained with him until it decayed, termites ate it, and it crumbled into pieces.

(Second chain of narration) In this it is stated that the companions prepared a pulpit with three steps for you. When the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up to deliver the sermon as usual, that trunk began to weep at being separated from you. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to it: Be silent. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to the companions: This trunk has wept at my separation. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to it: Be silent. If you wish, I will plant you in Paradise so that the righteous may eat your fruit, and if you wish, I will restore you to freshness as before. So it preferred the Hereafter over the world. When the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away, that trunk was handed over to Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him. It remained with him until it was eaten away by termites.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lean against a date-palm trunk among the pillars of the mosque while delivering the sermon. When a pulpit was prepared for him and he stood upon it, that trunk began to cry restlessly like a she-camel. Its sound was heard by everyone present in the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) descended from the pulpit and embraced the trunk to his chest, whereupon it became silent.

(Second chain of narration) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to deliver sermons standing beside a date-palm trunk. An Ansari woman, whose slave was a carpenter, said to him: O Messenger of Allah! I have a slave who is a carpenter; should I have him make a pulpit for you to deliver sermons from? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes, why not. Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, says: When, on the day of Jumu’ah, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood on the pulpit to deliver the sermon, the trunk beside which he used to stand began to weep like a child. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It wept because it was deprived of the blessing of the remembrance of Allah that used to take place near it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the pulpit was prepared, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand near a pillar and deliver the sermon. When the pulpit was prepared and he (peace and blessings be upon him) moved there, that trunk began to weep. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came near it and embraced it to his chest, and it became silent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I had not embraced it to my chest, it would have continued to weep until the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a camel belonging to a family of the Ansar, upon which they used to load water and irrigate their crops. The camel became unruly and refused to carry any load on its back. They came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! We had a camel upon which we used to bring water to irrigate our crops, but now it has become stubborn and rebellious and does not allow any load to be placed on its back. Our fields and date trees are drying up. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the companions: Stand up. They stood up, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the garden. The camel was in a corner of the garden. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked towards it. The Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Prophet of Allah! It has become mad like a rabid dog. We fear that it might attack you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have no fear from it. When the camel saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it rushed towards him and prostrated before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of the hair on its forehead, and it became extremely obedient and submissive, to the extent that he (peace and blessings be upon him) put it to work. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah! This senseless animal prostrates before you, while we are intelligent and have more right to prostrate to you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permissible to prostrate before any human being. If it were permissible for a human to prostrate before another human, I would have commanded the wife to prostrate to her husband, because the husband has many rights over her. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! If the husband were covered from head to toe with sores, and blood and pus were oozing from them, and the wife came and licked them clean, even then she would not have fulfilled the right of her husband.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we returned from a journey in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached near a garden of Banu Najjar, there was a rebellious camel there; whenever any camel entered the garden, it would attack it. The Ansar mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) went into the garden and called the camel. It came and placed its lips on the ground and sat down before him (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring its halter." He (peace and blessings be upon him) tied its rope and placed it on its head, and handed the camel over to its owner. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the people and said: "Everything between the heavens and the earth knows about me that I am the Messenger of Allah, except the rebellious and disobedient jinn and humans."
