Sahih al-Bukhari 3663
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " بَيْنَمَا رَاعٍ فِي غَنَمِهِ عَدَا عَلَيْهِ الذِّئْبُ، فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا شَاةً، فَطَلَبَهُ الرَّاعِي، فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ الذِّئْبُ فَقَالَ مَنْ لَهَا يَوْمَ السَّبُعِ، يَوْمَ لَيْسَ لَهَا رَاعٍ غَيْرِي، وَبَيْنَا رَجُلٌ يَسُوقُ بَقَرَةً قَدْ حَمَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَالْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَكَلَّمَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي لَمْ أُخْلَقْ لِهَذَا، وَلَكِنِّي خُلِقْتُ لِلْحَرْثِ ". قَالَ النَّاسُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَإِنِّي أُومِنُ بِذَلِكَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رضى الله عنهما ".
Abu al-Yaman reported to us: Shu‘ayb informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman informed me that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘While a shepherd was among his sheep, a wolf attacked them and took one of them. The shepherd pursued it, and the wolf turned toward him and said, “Who will watch over it on the Day of the Beast, the day when it will have no shepherd other than me?” And while a man was driving a cow on which he had loaded a burden, it turned toward him and spoke, saying, “I was not created for this; I was created for plowing.”’ The people said, ‘Glory be to Allah!’ The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘I believe in that, and so do Abu Bakr and ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both).’
