عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " بَينا رجل يَسُوق بقرة إِذْ أعيي فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّا لَمْ نُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا إِنَّمَا خُلِقْنَا لِحِرَاثَةِ الْأَرْضِ. فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَقَرَةٌ تَكَلَّمُ ". فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَإِنِّي أومن بِهَذَا أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ» . وَمَا هُمَا ثَمَّ وَقَالَ: " بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ فِي غَنَمٍ لَهُ إِذْ عدا الذِّئْب فَذهب عَلَى شَاةٍ مِنْهَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَدْرَكَهَا صَاحِبُهَا فَاسْتَنْقَذَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ الذِّئْبُ: فَمَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبْعِ يَوْمَ لَا رَاعِيَ لَهَا غَيْرِي؟ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: سُبْحَانَ الله ذِئْب يتَكَلَّم؟ ". قَالَ: أُومِنُ بِهِ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ " وَمَا هما ثمَّ. مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ

Abu Huraira said God's messenger told that while a man was driving a cow, he grew weary and mounted on its back, whereupon it said, "We were not created for this, but only for tilling the ground." The people said, "Glory be to God! Can a cow speak?" and God's messenger replied, "I believe it, as also do Abu Bakr and `Umar, but they were not present at the time. He then told that while a man was shepherding some sheep of his, a wolf attacked one of them and seized it. Its owner caught up on it and rescued it and the wolf said to him, "Who will look after it when the beast of prey's day comes and it has no shepherd but me?" The people said, "Glory be to God! Can a wolf speak?" and he replied, "I believe it, as also do Abu Bakr and `Umar," but they were not present at the time. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
