Sahih al-Bukhari 3507 (Book 62, Hadith 15)
took away one sheep. When the shepherd chased the wolf, the wolf turned towards him and said,
‘Who will be its guard on the day of wild animals when nobody except I will be its shepherd. And
while a man was driving a cow with a load on it, it turned towards him and spoke to him saying, ‘I
have not been created for this purpose, but for ploughing.” The people said, “Glorified be Allah.” The
Prophet said, “But I believe in it and so does Abu Bakr end `Umar.”
