A wolf testifies to the Prophet’s (P.B.U.H.) message
Imam Ahmad relates that Abu Saeed AlKhudhiri (R.A.) said:
A wolf hunted down a goat, the shepherd struggled with it and saved the goat. The wolf then sat down on its tail and said to him:
Do you not fear Allah? Do you deprive me of a subsistence that Allah has granted me?!!
The shepherd then said: How astonishing! A wolf talks to me like a human being.
The wolf responded: Should I tell you of something more astonishing? Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) in Yathrib (Medina) is informing people of events (stories) that occurred long time ago.
Then the shepherd came to Medina and approached the Prophet and informed him about his encounter. Then the Prophet called the people and told the shepherd to tell them his story.
The Prophet then said, “By He in whose hand my soul lies, The shepherd has spoken the truth. The Day of Judgment will never come until animals speak to human beings and a mans’ limbs talk to him, and his thighs inform him of the deeds of his family in his absence”
(Musnad Imam Ahmad Vol 3 Pg. 83-4)
The lion which accompanied Safina (R.A.) the servant of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
Abdul Razzaq relates that Safina (R.A.), a servant of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), was left behind by the army (Muslim) in the land of the Romans.
As he was trying to catch up with them, he suddenly came across a lion. He said to it:
O Abu Harith(One of the names of a lion) I am a servant of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.),
then proceeded to explain his situation to it. The lion then accompanied him till he reached the
army.

A bird that complained to the Prophet
Abu Daud relates that Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (R.A.) said:
We were traveling with the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), then a man took an egg from a bird’s nest. The bird came flapping its wings at the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and his companions.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) then said,
“Who among you made this bird miserable?”
Then a man among the companions said:
I took its egg….
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said,
“Put it back, put it back, as a sign of compassion to it.”
( Dalaail An-Nubuwwa by Al-Baihaqi Vol. 6 Pg. 23)
A camel prostrating to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
Imam Ahmad relates that Anas Ibn Malik (R.A.) said the Ahlul Bait among the Helpers had a camel that they used for irrigation, it refused to be mounted, so they went to the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and complained. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) told his companions:
“Stand up and let us go”.
They entered the farm and he went towards the camel, the helpers said:
O Messenger of Allah the camel behaves like a mad dog, it could harm you.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said,
“It can’t harm me”.
When the camel looked at the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.), it came towards him and prostrated in front of him. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) held it and led it to work.
The companions said:
O Messenger of Allah this is just an animal, it has no brains and it has just prostrated in front of you. We have brains so we are more entitled to prostrating.
On this the Messenger of Allah said,
“It is improper for a man to prostrate to another and if it were to be, I would have ordered a woman (wife) to prostrate to her husband due to the magnitude of his rights upon her….”
(Musnad Ahmad Vol. 3 Pg. 158)
A camel complains of mistreatment by its owner
Imam Ahmad relates that Abdullah Ibnm Ja’afar (R.A.) said:
One day the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) asked me to follow him. Whenever he wanted to relieve himself, he preferred either a hilly area or a garden of date palms. One day, he entered a shelter among the shelters of the Helpers, then all of a sudden, a camel came towards him, made a rumbling voice and shed tears.
When the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) saw this, he caressed the back of its head and comforted it. In turn, it stopped crying.
He then said,
“Who is its owner?”
A young man from the Helpers said:
It is mine O Messenger of Allah.
Then the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said,
“Do you not fear Allah as pertains to this animal that He has placed under your ownership?” It complained that you neglect feeding it and mistreat it
