Of the Miracles of Allah’s
Messenger Prayer and Peace upon him
Understanding Animals
Imam Muslim,
Ahmed and Abu Dawood narrated:
One day, Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him
went into one of the fruit gardens of one of the Ansar (supporters). There
was a camel there, which went to him making noises, with tears from his
eyes.Allah’s messenger prayer and peace
upon him put stroked his head and wiped his tears, which settled him down.Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him
said: “Who is the owner of this Camel?” A man from the Ansar came and said: “It
is min Allah’s messenger”.Allah’s
messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “You should fear Allah concerning
this animal Allah made you in possession of, he complained to me that you make
it hungry and tire it out”.
Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him understood the camels
talk and complaint, as Allah the Highest made him understand it.
Making people understand other creatures like animals and birds
even insects, is one of the bounties Allah the Highest bestows on His prophets
and messengers, as happened with Solomon peace upon him who understood birds
also understood the ante.It is also one
of the signs of prophecy.
This miracle was one of the bounties upon Allah’s messenger prayer
and peace upon him.
Allah’s prayer and peace be upon Mohamed and upon his family and
companions.
