I was looking for a hadith and I found it and I thought it important to share with you. Perhaps you would find it strange but Allahs power overcomes everything and for Him nothing is impossible. Miracles do happen: The Talking Wolf This is a famous wolf event which is narrated to us from five or six different sources based on the famous companions of the prophet. Various narrators likeAbu Sa‘id al-Khudri, Salama b. al-Akwa‘, Ibn Abi Wahab, and Abu Hurayra, and the shepherd Uhban who witnessed this event narrate it as follows: A wolf seized one of the goats from the herd of a shepherd; the shepherd saved the goat from the wolf. The wolf said to the shepherd: “Do you not fear God? You have deprived me of my sustenance!” The shepherd muttered to himself: “How strange! Can wolves speak?” The wolf said to him: ‘Your state is strange; beyond the hill is someone calling you to Paradise. He is a Messenger of God; yet you do not know him!’ The companions who narrated it to us informed that the wolf talked. In the narration of Abu Hurayra, one of those companions, the following is stated: ’s riwayah as follows: “The shepherd said to the wolf: ‘I will go and see him, but who will look after my goats?’ The wolf replied: ‘I will look after them.’ So, the shepherd handed over the herd to the wolf and went to see the Noble Messenger (pbuh), believed in him, and returned to his herd. The shepherd found the wolf; not a goat had been lost. So, he slaughtered one goat and gave it to the wolf, for it had become his teacher.” (Musnad iii, 83, 88; Musnad (Tahqiq: Ahmad Shakir) xv, 202-3, nos: 8049, 11864, 11867; Qadi Iyad, ash-Shifa’ i, 310; al-Hakim, al-Mustadrak iv, 467; Ibn Hibban, Sahih viii, 144; al-Haythami, Majma’ az-Zawa’id viii, 291-2; al-Sa’ati, al-Fath ar-Rabbani xx, 240; Ibn Kathir, al-Bidaya wa’n-Nihaya vi, 141. ) According to another narration, one of the chiefs of Quraysh, Abu Sufyan, and Safwan saw a wolf pursuing a gazelle into the enclosure of the Kaa‘ba. The wolf returned and they were astonished. The wolf spoke, telling them about the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH). Abu Sufyan said to Safwan: “Do not tell anyone of this; I am frightened everyone will join him and Makkah will be emptied.” (Qadi Iyad, ash-Shifa’ i, 311; al-Khafaji, Sharh ash-Shifa’ iii, 84.)
