It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer, then turned towards us and said: Once a man was driving a bull, and he mounted it and struck it. The bull spoke and said: "We have not been created for riding; we have been created for plowing." Upon hearing this, the people said in amazement: "Glory be to Allah! The bull has started speaking!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I, Abu Bakr, and Umar believe in the truth of this statement." Even though Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) were not present there.

Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Once a man was among his flock of sheep when a wolf attacked and snatched away a sheep. The man chased after it and rescued the sheep from it. The wolf spoke and said: "Today you have snatched it from me, but in the days of tribulation, when people will abandon their cattle and flee, and on that day I will be their only shepherd (protector), who will save them from me then?" Upon hearing this, the people again said in amazement: "Glory be to Allah! The wolf has started speaking like humans!" But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I, Abu Bakr, and Umar also believe in the truth of this statement." Even though both of them were not present there at that time.
